No European mobile carrier charges recipients of calls or texts. So if you
are using words such as "I am in Europe" and "where I use a local SIM" in
their customary sense you will never be charged for receiving calls or texts
originated either from nearby locals numbers or from abroad. Maybe you would
disclose exactly what weird and non-standard "local SIM" you acquired.
