Roam Free: your iD Mobile travel companion.
Before we tell you about our new Roam Beyond add-ons, here’s a quick reminder of what our existing Roam Free feature is all about. With Roam Free, you can use your UK monthly allowances of minutes, texts, and data (up to 30GB!) in 50 destinations. From sipping espresso in Italy to surfing in Spain, your phone will work just as it does at home - at no extra cost.

FAQs.
When does my Roam Beyond add-on start?
Your Roam Beyond add-on starts immediately after purchase. To avoid unexpected charges at your destination, we recommend buying it while still in the UK. Alternatively, you can turn roaming off, connect to a secure local Wi-Fi once you arrive, and purchase your add-on then.
How long does my Roam Beyond add-on last?
Roam Beyond add-ons last for 1 day, 5 days, or 10 days, starting from the time of purchase. You can check your app dashboard or online account to see when it expires.
Can I buy a recurring Roam Beyond add-on?
We don’t offer recurring Roam Beyond add-ons. You’ll need to buy a new one if you’re current one expires, but don’t worry – we’ve made it quick and easy for you to do this. See ‘How to purchase a Roam Beyond add-on’ above.
Can I cancel a Roam Beyond add-on?
Roam Beyond add-ons can’t be cancelled. They naturally expire after their duration.
Will my Bill Cap affect my Roam Beyond add-on?
Nope! Roam Beyond add-ons are separate from your Bill Cap. If you have a £3 Bill Cap and buy a £5 Roam Beyond add-on, your Bill Cap will remain untouched.
Do Roam Beyond add-ons carry over after a plan change or upgrade?
Yes. Your Roam Beyond add-on will stay on your account even if you switch plans.
I’ve gone over my allowance—can I use an add-on to cover it?
Not retroactively, but buying an add-on immediately helps you avoid higher out-of-bundle charges for future usage.
Can I use my add-ons abroad?
Yes. UK Add-ons work in Roam Free destinations up to 30GB. Roam Beyond add-ons work in selected destinations outside the Roam Free zone.
