You can also purchase a data roaming add on:
Roam Beyond add-ons.
You can now buy a data-only add-on to stay connected while you're in Switzerland. 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 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.
