Good day. I’m off to South Africa and have seen there is a roam beyond add on which can be purchased. You get 20gb for 10days. So if I want to make phone calls will I need to do it via WhatsApp? If I do make a normal call will I be charged international rate? And lastly if I don’t want to be charged anything over the roam beyond add on what settings should I set my phone too to only use data! Regards
Solved

Hi
Correct, setting your bill cap to £0 is the best way to avoid any unwanted charges from getting through, without blocking your ability to use the add-on.

If you don’t want to be charged at all, please change your bill cap to £0.00 via the iD Mobile app/website.
Thanks,

Thanks for replying Tyler,
so if I leave my phone on the same setting as I have them in the uk, turn my spend limit to zero I should be fine. Just be able to use the data when I need.? That sound right?
