I was on holiday and drove from UK Spain and only Spain  

I am now seeing on my July bill a charge £45 for ROW roaming.. why?

I looked at the roaming and Spain is included so where is the rest of world charge from?, why does the bill not specify? what the change is for?

I am going to France next week and do not what to get it wrong again if it is my fault.

Hi there ​@Peter Greenwood, sorry to hear that. Firstly, to avoid roaming charges, even when in inclusive EU countries, we’d always recommend changing your bill cap to £0.00 via the iD Mobile app/website, to avoid roaming charges, for connecting to nearby countries, or for connecting to the maritime network.

 

In terms of the charges, did you go near or through any bordering countries not included in our inclusive roaming package? Or, did you go out to or near the sea at all?

 

Thanks,

Tyler

Hi ​@Peter Greenwood 

 

It sounds like you’ve been charged whilst on the ferry for roaming, I’d recommend checking the following;
