Which Countries have 4G roaming (22 Countries as 31st July)

darrengf — Mon, 30 Jul 2018 22:10:58 GMT

So I’ve started a list.

Can people let me know and I will request access to keep this updated.

Do you also want a list of the 4G roaming networks too?

@EmilieT, @Marjo

can you help

Current List Below in Boxes are the Standard ones In the EU

These are outside EU roaming but do have 4G Roaming.

Argentina

Australia

Canada*

UAE

Uruguay

USA*

Please note that for Canada and USA, very few phones have computable 4G bands for these countries due to the difference in frequencies.

Please dont assume that you will get 4G on your Device because you get it I’m UK. Please ask first.

Good idea @darrengf

What about extending it to non EU countries? (I know its a lot to ask but many people take holidays outside of the EU).

During the last couple of weeks we have had posts where people are travelling to India, Egypt, New Zealand etc.

You are lucky to get any data usage worth having in many countries outside the EU

ie Thailand, Laos, Hong Kong, Japan, Cambodia and Korea from personal experience just over 12 months ago, unless things have changed in Asia? Difficult task I think.

I'm surprised that you list Japan and Korea as not having 4G @jonsie, or do you just mean they don't have roaming agreements with O2?

Edit: According to this article, the UK isn't even in the top 20.

@Bambino Oh they have blazing fast 4G. Soon 5G

but only agreement is 3G and this may not be fast as it it may be restricted 😒

just need someone to re test it if the can

Those countries only had 3G when I visited and data speeds were 0.5Mb or worse.

Looks like they've caught up, and left the UK behind.:smileywink:

@darrengf Hi

Madeira and Azores aren’t countries, they are Portuguese islands, so actuality should be Portugal (inc Madeira and Azores) and 4G is standard.

Netherlands supports 4G and most countries on that list support 4G for a while, can we update this please?

@EmilieT

thanks

Morning @Anonymous

I’m just collating the info for a update. The 4G countries are not mentioned with o2 so I have to rely on news or people.

Regarding the Countries, I understand wat you are saying, but it’s shown like Thant on O2 website and on the others as well.

You could say say the same for Jersey, Guernsey, isle of Man and Gibraltar. There all part of the uk. Bu the have separate mobile networks. This is why o2 and other networks show the places separate.

@darrengf not really sorry. Same networks, same currency, same laws, same country. The islands that you mentioned aren’t UK they are protected by the crown and they have their own networks and even the currency isn’t quite the same. Sorry. I understand you say o2 lists that way, but even from O2 side is wrong. Same with the Spanish islands (it’s Spain incl canary and ...)
They do this way so it looks they are covering lots of countries but that not true, they are just islands inside of a country and once again (not even close to Jersey, guernsey or Isle of Man )
