I've not long been with 02 and I'm off to Greece in a couple of weeks, do 02 contract plans include me using my mobile in Greece and what I use in the way of Call's, Messages and Data just come off my contract allocation or do I need to buy a bolt on??

I just want to avoid ridiculous charges to my mobile phone bill.

You can use your phone the same in any eu country as you would at home.
All calls texts and data come from your uk allowances.

In Greece you can use your phone just as you would in the UK. No bolt ons are needed at all and calls, texts come from your UK allowances as long as you aren't sending mms messages. Check with customer service first that there are no international roaming bars on your account.

Just be careful when traying near the borders that your phone doesn't automatically latch onto a stronger signal from neighbouring countries. We suggest a manual network selection rather thanautomatic.
