Roaming in Thailand

Hi I’m going on holiday to Phuket in a couple of weeks. Obviously this isn’t one of the countries I can use my phone free. Do you have a package that can be added at all please?

 

thanks

Alas @Suemo63, iD Mobile don’t have a bundle or package to use for roaming in Thailand. 

Perhaps consider using a data-only eSIM for Thailand, or purchase a local SIM card when you arrive in Thailand. 

For Thailand, iD charge £1.50/MB for roaming mobile data - 10MB/day = £15, 100MB/day = £150.
Ouch! 😫

Text messages are free to receive in Thailand, so if your iD account bill cap was £0, you’d get text messages and nothing else would work.

Hi @Suemo63 

 

As suggested by @andewhite we unfortunately don’t offer any such roaming bundles, to avoid costs while there, we’d recommend setting a bill cap on your account.

@Suemo63 hi if someone calls your UK number while you’re in Thailand does it still ring? Even if you have a Thai eSIM?

Hi ​@Sunny2018,

You certainly can, just to be safe if you wish to avoid extra charges you can disable roaming and set your cap to £0.
