Roaming

Roaming charges depend on the network your tariff sits on.

O2

EU roaming is included. Worldwide roaming is £4.00 a day.

Vodafone

£1.60 a day in the EU and £4.26 a day worldwide.

EE

£1.50 a day in the EU, £5.00 a day for business roaming and £9.00 a day for world roaming.

Fair usage applies in all cases. Check the destination before you travel — country groupings differ between networks.

The cap

Roaming on an unlimited plan is capped separately rather than being unlimited abroad. Once you pass the roaming allowance, out-of-bundle rates apply for the rest of that trip or billing period.

Staying inside it

• Use hotel or venue Wi-Fi for large downloads and video.
• Turn off background app refresh and automatic cloud backups while abroad.
• Watch tethering — a laptop on a hotspot burns through a roaming cap quickly.

Roaming allowances are designed for travel, not for living or working abroad full time.

What networks look for

If the majority of your usage over a rolling period happens outside the UK, the network may contact you and can restrict or withdraw roaming.

If you're based abroad

Tell us before you order. A UK SIM used permanently overseas is the wrong product, and a local plan or a dedicated international tariff will serve you better.

What's available

• International minutes bundles for calling overseas from the UK.
• Roaming packs that reduce or replace the daily charge for a set period.
• Data top-ups if you're heading over your allowance.

Adding one

You can add bolt-ons at checkout, or afterwards by contacting us with your order reference. Add-ons applied mid-month are usually pro rated on the next bill.

Removing one

Bolt-ons stop at the end of the billing month in which you cancel them.
