I have literally arrived in Morocco, turned my phone back on whilst sitting on the plane and have received a message to say I’m being charged £46 as used up my allowance. How can this be when I’ve literally just turned my phone on???

    Maybe because iD roaming mobile data costs £9.60/MB in Morocco, ​@Lausack

    Your £46 would pay for a tiny 4.8MB of mobile data - i.e. £9600/GB - ouch!

    Hi ​@Lausack 

     

    You may be charged for roaming whilst in non-inclusive roaming zones (such as Morocco or even whilst traveling), we’d recommend keeping an eye on your bill and adjusting your bill cap as you find comfortable.

    When you were roaming in Iceland, did you go out at sea at all, or near the sea? Did you also go through or near any bordering countries?

     

    Thanks,

    Tyler
