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.
