So… where are you off to in 2026? Whether you’re plotting a big adventure, squeezing in a cheeky long weekend, or finally ticking off that “one day” destination, one thing’s guaranteed: you’ll want your phone to work when you get there. For maps, bookings, translations, ride-hailing, food recommendations, and (let’s be honest) posting holiday pics.
That’s where iD Mobile’s Roam Beyond add-ons come in. They’re designed for destinations outside our inclusive roaming zones and start from just £5 — so you can stay connected without stressing about surprise charges or hunting down dodgy Wi-Fi.
To give you some inspiration, we’ve picked out a few standout destinations you can roam in with Roam Beyond in 2026. Some newly added countries are included, with great food, incredible sights, good value, and truly unforgettable trips.
First up: what is Roam Beyond?
Here’s the deal. Roam Beyond is a data-only add-on you can bolt onto your plan when travelling to countries that aren’t included in our 50 inclusive roaming destinations.
Instead of paying pay-as-you-go roaming rates, you buy a data pass upfront, use your phone like normal, and get on with enjoying your trip. No SIM swapping, no maths, no nasty bill waiting for you when you get home.
Perfect for Google Maps, WhatsApp, FaceTime, Instagram, booking tours, checking restaurant reviews… you get the idea.
Roam Beyond destinations you should consider in 2026.
- Vietnam - brilliant food, big adventures, great value
Vietnam is one of those places that works for almost everyone. Backpackers love it, foodies obsess over it, and it’s still one of the best-value destinations out there.
You’ve got the buzz of Hanoi, the calm of Ha Long Bay, the lantern-lit streets of Hoi An, and some of the best street food on the planet (yes, really). It’s also super easy to travel around - and having mobile data makes life much simpler when booking transport or finding your next bánh mì stop!
- Colombia – colourful, exciting, and full of surprises
Colombia has completely shaken off its old reputation and become a must-visit destination. Medellín is modern and creative, Bogotá has incredible museums and nightlife, and Cartagena looks like it was designed for your camera roll.
Add amazing coffee, Caribbean beaches, and a lively food scene and you’ve got a destination that feels exciting without being overwhelming. Great for travellers who want culture, colour, and a bit of adventure all in one.
- Argentina - big cities, bigger scenery
Argentina is massive, varied, and seriously impressive. Buenos Aires feels like a European city with Latin American energy — great food, great wine, and plenty going on. Then there’s Patagonia, Iguazú Falls, and some of the most dramatic landscapes you’ll ever see.
It’s a place where plans often change (in a good way), so having data to rebook, reroute, or find your next stop is a lifesaver.
- Jordan - one for the bucket list
Jordan is perfect if you want a trip that feels a bit special. Petra is genuinely jaw-dropping, Wadi Rum looks like another planet, and floating in the Dead Sea is one of those “I can’t believe this is real” moments.
It’s ideal for a one-week trip or a short cultural break. And staying connected helps when you’re moving between ancient sites, deserts, and cities.
- Costa Rica - for nature lovers and adventure fans
If your idea of a holiday includes rainforests, wildlife, volcanoes, and beaches, Costa Rica is hard to beat. It’s a dream for eco-travel, surfing, hiking, and spotting animals you’ve only seen on documentaries.
A lot of places are tucked away, so having mobile data on hand makes it easier to find lodges, book tours, and not get lost on jungle roads.
- Bosnia & Herzegovina - underrated and affordable
Bosnia & Herzegovina is one of Europe’s best-kept secrets. It’s easy on the budget, packed with history, and surprisingly beautiful. Mostar’s famous bridge is stunning, Sarajevo is full of character, and the food is comforting and hearty. It’s ideal for a long weekend or a short European escape that feels a bit different.
- Ghana - culture, history, and warmth
Ghana is a brilliant choice if you want something meaningful as well as fun. Accra’s music and art scene is buzzing, the food is bold and flavourful, and the history is powerful and important.
It’s welcoming, lively, and increasingly popular with travellers looking to go beyond the usual routes.
How much does Roam Beyond cost?
You can buy an add-on in the iD Mobile app or online. We’re keeping things nice and easy. Simply pick the data you need for the length of your trip.
| Data Allowance | Validity | Cost |
| 2GB | 1 day | £5 |
| 10GB | 5 days | £10 |
| 20GB | 10 days | £35 |
Remember, Roam Beyond is data-only, so calls and texts are charged separately. But most people stick to WhatsApp, FaceTime, or Messenger these days anyway, right?
Top tip: grab it just before you fly so it activates straight away when you land!
