Using my Ipad monthy data in France

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hello, I'm currently on holiday in France and would like to use my data roaming on my Ipad. I've seen o2 travel for £1.99 a day and for pay monthly customers I gather this is already in place. I'm just unsure whether my Ipad contract comes with this. I don't want to incur loads of charges 😞

If it's a data sim only you can only use it in UK I'm afraid.

Hi @Anonymous As far as I am aware the the ipad data tariff is a pre paid uk only data allowance.... but when abroad its recommended to use either wifi or get a local sim for ipad. If this has changed maybe someone could advise?

Hi there @Anonymous

 

Do you know what tariff you are on for your ipad? If it is a pay monthly sim only tariff, then you can use it abroad.

O2 travel doesn't apply to data only sim cards, so you will be charged standard roaming charges, in this case 17.2p. Hope this helps slight_smile

If you have an o2 contract phone you can tether the ipad using o2 Travel but your best option is a local sim. Even using o2 Travel, connection isn't fast when roaming and really only fit for light browsing.
