How do I change the start date of a roaming international add on?

Best answer by Decembersangel72

Hi @Missscrawly

You cannot choose a start date for an iD Mobile Roam Beyond add-on. All Roam Beyond passes activate immediately upon purchase and cannot be scheduled in advance. Because of this immediate activation, iD Mobile recommends purchasing the add-on either on the day you travel (before you leave the UK) or after you arrive at your destination using local Wi-Fi

These Roam Beyond add-ons are data only. If you make traditional calls or send SMS messages, you will still pay standard pay-as-you-go rates, which can be expensive. To avoid extra charges, you can use apps like WhatsApp over your purchased roaming data to call and message home.

Hope this helps x

Hi @Missscrawly,

Thanks for getting in touch.

Unfortunately, it's not possible to change the start date of a Roam Beyond add-on once it's been purchased. The add-on will begin from the time it is activated and can't be amended or scheduled for a different date.
