  Nope. It's an EU regulation. You can only charge the same cost as an
in-country call and there's a maximum per minute cost. (There was a time
when for me a call inside another EU country or from such a country to
NL was *cheaper* than an in-NL call, because of that maximum per minute
cost.)

  But yes, *technically* it's "an international call" because you have
to prepend the country code of the destination, which you don't have to
do for an in-country call.

  So it's "an international call" and it needs roaming to work, but it's
not more expensive than an in-country call.
