Roaming costs vary depending on where you are visiting and how you are travelling. Select your destination type below to see the specific charges.
Inclusive Roaming (50 Destinations).
In these destinations (mostly EU/EEA countries), roaming is free. You can use your UK minutes, texts, and data (up to 30GB) at no extra cost.
However, if you use up your monthly allowance or hit the 30GB roaming fair usage limit, you will be charged the standard out-of-plan rates below:
| Roaming | Pay Monthly | Pay As You Go |
|---|---|---|
| Calls to UK* | £0.40 | £0.40 |
| Calls to Inclusive Roaming destinations* | £0.40 | £0.40 |
| Calls received* | £0.00 | £0.00 |
| Texts to Inclusive Roaming destinations** | £0.14 | £0.14 |
| Texts to UK** | £0.14 | £0.14 |
| Picture Message (MMS) sent** | £0.55 | £0.05 |
| Internet and Data (Per MB)*** | £0.10 | £0.10 |
* Price per minute,
** Please note: MMS charges vary. For further information, refer to Terms & Conditions.
*** Data is charged or deducted in one kilobyte (KB) increments and any part KB used will be rounded up to the nearest KB.
Roam Beyond (25 Destinations).
If you are travelling to a Roam Beyond destination (such as the USA or Australia), your UK allowance does not apply. We recommend purchasing one of the following add-ons to give you data at the best value and avoid expensive per-MB charges:
- 2GB for £5 (Valid for 1 day).
- 10GB for £20 (Valid for 5 days).
- 20GB for £35 (Valid for 10 days) – Best value: works out at just £3.50 per day!
Check out the Community article below for more helpful information on how to purchase a Roam Beyond add-on.
Please note: If you choose not to purchase an add-on, or if you run out of your add-on data, standard roaming rates will apply. Use our Rate Checker to see the standard costs for your specific country.
Rest of World.
For any destination not included in the Inclusive or Roam Beyond zones, you cannot use your UK allowance or add-ons.
You will be charged for every minute, text, and MB of data you use. These prices vary significantly depending on the country.

Roaming at Sea.
When you’re at sea, we recommend you don’t use your phone, and put it in flight/airplane mode until you get to shore. This is because using your phone while at sea can be very expensive. Ferry and cruise operators often use their own phone network that’s operated via satellite. Connecting to a satellite network is much more expensive than connecting to a land-operated network.
Here are the costs of roaming at sea for both Pay Monthly and Pay as you go customers:
| Roaming (at sea) | Cost |
|---|---|
| Calls to UK* | £6.00 |
| Calls to Ships, Ferries & Cruise Liners* | £6.00 |
| Calls received* | £1.50 |
| Text to Ships, Ferries & Cruise Liners** | £1.20 |
| Texts to UK** | £1.20 |
| Picture Message (MMS) sent** | £0.60 |
| Internet and Data (Per MB)*** | £9.60 |
* Price per minute,
** Please note: MMS charges vary. For further information, refer to Terms & Conditions.
*** Data is charged or deducted in one kilobyte (KB) increments and any part KB used will be rounded up to the nearest KB.
Roaming In-Flight.
Some airlines are equipped with mobile networks, which means you can use your phone while flying. However, inflight roaming can be very expensive, even if you’re travelling between our free Roaming destinations. When you’re in the air, we strongly recommend you don’t use your phone, and keep it in flight mode until you get land.
Here are the costs of inflight roaming for both Pay Monthly and Pay as you go customers:
| Roaming (In-Flight) | Cost |
|---|---|
| Calls to UK* | £6.00 |
| Calls to Airlines* | £6.00 |
| Calls received* | £1.50 |
| Text to Airlines** | £1.20 |
| Texts to UK** | £1.20 |
| Picture Message (MMS) sent** | £0.60 |
| Internet and Data (Per MB)*** | £9.60 |
* Price per minute,
