    I was in Dublin,  republic of Ireland recently and had to get 1 day add- on’s.

    If it’s Northern Ireland - Belfast, it’s included.

    Hi ​@hannahmcdonald123,

     

    Yes, you'll be able to use your calls, texts and data in Ireland as part of your plan, so there's no need to purchase any additional roaming add-ons.

     

    Before you travel, we'd recommend setting your bill cap to £0.00 to help prevent any unexpected charges:

    1. Open the iD Mobile app or log in to My Account.
    2. Go to Bills.
    3. Select Manage Bill Cap.
    4. Set the cap to £0.00 and save the change.

     

    When you arrive in Ireland, your phone should connect automatically. However, if you have any issues getting a signal, you may need to manually connect to one of our roaming partner networks:

    • 3
    • Vodafone
    • Eir

     

    To manually select a network:

    iPhone

    1. Go to Settings > Mobile Service > Network Selection.
    2. Turn Automatic off.
    3. Select 3, Vodafone or Eir.

    Android

    1. Go to Settings > Connections (or Network & Internet).
    2. Tap Mobile Networks.
    3. Select Network Operators.
    4. Turn off Select Automatically.
    5. Choose 3, Vodafone or Eir.

     

    Have a great trip to Ireland!

     

    Regards,
