Travelling in Europe - worried about data charges abroad

Anonymous
Not applicable

Maybe I should know this but I am travelling @ Europe for two weeks soon.  I have a contract with O2 and in the past despite turning off data roaming Ihave been charges a £60 extra because I have used data.  I dont understand how this happens as data is OFF and I only use wifi in hotels/restaurants.  I am very worried that this will happen again.  Is there a package I can pay for so this won't happen?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Anonymous

Have a look at this thread. If you opt in to O2 travel you will pay £1.99 a day for 120 minutes of calls 120 texts and any data you use....https://www.o2.co.uk/shop/international/using-phone-in-europe

If you stay somewhere with WiFi you can use TuGo to make calls out of your allowances. And use data over WiFi....It depends whether you are a heavy user...

There's no need for extortionate charges in EU with O2 Travel - why have you never asked about this before?
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
