    Hi ​@valentinalgr

     

    Thank you for reaching out.

     

    Switzerland is not included in iD Mobile's standard roaming destinations, so your UK allowances will not automatically work there.

     

    Before you travel, we recommend:

    • Logging into the iD Mobile app
    • Going to Services > Roaming
    • Checking whether a Roam Beyond Data Add-on is available on your account

    If a Roam Beyond add-on is available, you'll be able to purchase it directly through the app before or during your trip.

     

    We also recommend checking the following before travelling:

    • Ensure Roaming is enabled in the iD Mobile app
    • Ensure Data Roaming is enabled in your handset settings
    • Consider setting your Bill Cap to £0 if you do not wish to incur any out-of-plan roaming charges

    To set your Bill Cap:

    1. Open the iD Mobile app
    2. Select My Account
    3. Select Bill Cap
    4. Set the Bill Cap to your preferred amount (for example £0)

    If you're unable to see any roaming add-ons in the app, please let us know and we'll be happy to check what options are available on your account.
