These prices are way too expensive. With esims now easy and cheap, you can roam anywhere in the world for a fraction of these prices, if these SIM only companies can do such good prices you would think a mobile phone supplier and operator could beat or at least match these prices. I would love to be able to use my ID sim abroad, but it’s just way TOOO MUCH. Esims are so easy and convenient and offer MEGA SPEEDS at a fraction of these prices. 

Hey ​@MYLO! Thank you for the feedback on our Roam Beyond Add-Ons - I’ve shared this with the team.

As you can imagine, we conducted extensive market research, comparing not only eSIM providers but also the Roaming Add-Ons offered by other UK networks, to establish pricing that delivers great value to our customers. While a separate eSIM is a great option, they’re not supported by all devices, and some customers prefer the simplicity of using their phone abroad just as they would at home – hassle-free. 

To clarify, there are no speed restrictions when using your phone abroad with our Add-Ons. Thanks!

I got really excited as I am travelling to Morocco next month, but wow the prices aren't great, maybe for the 1 day deal is brilliant but e-sim are convenient with at least half the price for the 5 days! Especially nowadays most phones support that. still great to see a bit of creativity for the network users.

What are the chances of ID adding calls to the Roam Beyond in the near future? Planning on going to the USA in about 15 months and will need data and calls for some of the activities planned (proper calls, not WhatsApp or similar). Without calls I'll have to look into the eSim route instead.

A small ammount of data, but unlimited calls and texts.   So how can Id claim to be the best roam-free operator?

I totally agree,  too expensive, I think the line about extensive market research is  just “lip service”

if you had of done any research you would not be having this

kind of response  now!

Nice idea but I'll keep buying a local SIM until the prices come down. This is similar to the offer of other UK operators but doesn't take into account the cost of local data. 

It's expensive (surely market research would show this!) and random amount days because most people go away for 7 or 14 days but you're offering 5 or 10 days 🥴🥴 1, 3, 7, 14 would be better, moreso if you're keeping these prices.... 35 for 14 days is much more appealing, 20 for 7 days.... I'd say a little cheaper than those numbers but can't see ID dropping them .....

eSIM is the way to go, 10GB for 5 days at £20 is not even close to competitive.

Ridiculous pricing, really especially when taking into account availability of E-Sims, ease of install and prices from those providers. 

Where a phone doesn't have E-Sim capability there is always the local option. 

I'm currently in India. I bought a low cost minimal data esim to tide me over until I got Mysore then went out and bought a local SIM (airtel) for 2gb per day and unlimited calls locally for less than £7 for 28 days.

56GB of data over 28 days for £7 versus 20gb for £35 lasting just 10 days, 4 days less than typical holiday abroad.

All you need is your passport and 20 minutes to get local SIM card in India.

Really dire value for money offering and kind of shows the extensive market research was neither extensive nor accurate given comments on here. They've simply matched to other UK providers who are also ripping their customers off.
