Apologies for the simplicity and numptiness of the question.
I'm on a trip to Norway where Vodaphone allows me to use my regular mobile phone minutes and texts without extra charges.
I have no International numbers in my contract plan.
So, what is classed as international dialling in this instance, is it calling UK land line numbers from Norway, or is it calling Norwegian land line numbers whilst I'm in Norway?

Usually it means you can use your phone as if you are still in the UK - i.e. calling UK numbers. Calling Norway numbers would still be classed as and charged as an international call.

Calls from a Roam-free destination to the UK or to another Roam-free destination are included in Vodafone Roam-free and will be taken from your home plan allowance (or at standard UK rates once you have exceeded your UK bundle allowance).
