Roaming in Barbados, is it covered on Roam Beyond as the country is not shown unless it comes under trave to USA?  Please clarify.

Hi ​@mpatel58

 

I completely understand why this is confusing, and I’m sorry for any concern caused.
 

Barbados is not included in Roam Beyond or Roam Free destinations, and it also doesn’t fall under the USA roaming zone, so standard roaming charges would apply there.
 

To help avoid any unexpected costs while you’re away, you can:

Turn data roaming off in your phone settings
Use WiFi for calls, messages, and internet where available
Use apps like WhatsApp/FaceTime over WiFi

Hi ​@mpatel58

 

Please also ensure that your Bill Cap is set to £0 to help prevent any unexpected out-of-plan charges.

 

You can do this through the iD Mobile app by following these steps:

  • Log into the iD Mobile app
  • Select “My Account”
  • Tap “Manage Bill Cap”
  • Set the Bill Cap amount to £0
  • Save/confirm the changes
