Using my phone abroad

Anonymous — Fri, 31 Jan 2014 06:37:08 GMT

I am travelling to Italy in a week, how much will it cost me to tx people in the uk? How much will it be for me to use data also? Is it a daily charge or dependant on how much data I use?

Hi.

First enjoy your trip.

Their are various options.

One is to unlock your handset to all networks now if it's not already so you can use a local SIM card while your there.

Also try to use wifi when and where you can.

If your pay monthly look at o2's TuGo.

Theirs lots more info in Tugo on the O2 homepage.

Regarding if your wanting to use your O2 SIM card abroad then perhaps take a look at O2 Travel as one option.

It's recommended you turn off O2 voicemail before you leave the Uk to help stop roaming charges as trying to turn this off whilst abroad is not apparently possible.

Here is the link to show costs to use your phone in Italy.

If you are able to use wifi whilst in italy, it will be cheaper for you to use apps such as whatsapp, viber or BBM (if they are available on your phone). These apps are free to use but the recipients must also have the apps on their phone.
