Hi ​@Baljit,

 

As you are aware, roaming is not included in India, however you can now buy a data-only add-on to stay connected while you're in India. Use your data to browse, stream, and keep in touch with friends and family at all times. To get an add-on, simply log in to the iD Mobile app or https://my.idmobile.co.uk/.

 

Data Duration Price
2 GB 1 day £5
10 GB 5 days £20
20 GB 10 days £35

 

Tip: To avoid out-of-plan charges when you land, it's best to purchase your Roam Beyond add-on while you're still in the UK. Alternatively, once you reach your destination, keep mobile data turned off until you can connect to Wi-Fi and buy an add-on.

 

Any extra charges for roaming, using calls, texts or data in India can be found on our website: https://www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/international-and-roaming-charges
