Travelling for a month no phone needed

[Anonymous]

I don't want to use my phone can I switch my tariff off for a month?

Only if a person is a serving soldier in a war zone.

Are you payg or contract ?

If contract Can you not ask a family member to take over the contract for the time your away (a trusted person) and you can even change the bank account details so the payment comes out of their bank account.

However you remain accountable.

You could still use your phone abroad with Travel or Tugo off wifi or turn off mobile data in your phones settings and use wifi only.

To be honest the 120 pound bolt on doesn't seem that appealing . I will probably switch it all off (data roaming ) maybe get a USA paygo sim . Doing a roadtrip ya see

Yes that's a good idea if your phone is unlocked

Seems the sensible way if your phone is unlocked. Have a safe trip and enjoy

Then ensure your phone is unlocked to all networks. Free for contract customers and £15 for payg t&c apply.

Check the USA networks as some charge to both send and receive text messages

Enjoy your trip.
