travel abroad

I have been charged £1.666 a day for travel data while in Italy what is this charge as I had mobile data off

Phone calls and texts will also invoke the charge if you have o2 travel enabled.

Hi @Anonymous You should read this. It explains everything about O2 Travel in Europe

Unfortunately if you have O2 Travel then just sending one text will trigger the daily charge of £1.99 (inc.VAT).

Certain phones may have problems with little data usage such as a few KBs even when mobile data is switched off in settings and I experienced something like this years ago when I am abroad and being charged for some amount about 1p by my home network provider(not in the UK) and I have to ask my home network provider to switch off data roaming on their side.

I put local SIM cards for data when travelling in my dual SIM phone purchased this year and should be effective in avoiding accidental data roaming charges.
