I can't find any information on the international roaming data bundle and tethering. Is it allowed, or is blocked?

I'm off to the US for work and need tethering.

Thank you

iD Mobile allows tethering both in the UK and while roaming abroad.

When abroad, does it just come out of the data bundle?

Is the tethered traffic speed reduced?

Thanks. I've been trawling IDs FAQS and am clearly looking in the wrong place.

hi, @Malteser

Thank you for getting in touch. When you’re abroad, data usage will usually come out of your UK data allowance, provided you’re in one of our inclusive roaming destinations. If you’re in a country outside this zone, standard roaming charges may apply.

Tethering is also permitted while abroad, and the speed of tethered traffic isn’t intentionally reduced. However, network conditions and local roaming partners can sometimes affect speeds or performance.

I completely understand how confusing FAQs can be. you can also use this link to check roaming https://www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/eu-roaming.
