Solved: Using Pay and Go abroad - Page 2

Anonymous · ‎13-08-2015

Hi I want to use a 'pay and go' SIM purely so I can make afew texts whilst on hols. I don't normally use pay and go but O2 advised i could just top up and it would work. However, i tried this and topped up £10 and got a bundle which is great for UK but didn't work abroad. Can you advise that if for example, I already have a £10 bundle and then topped up with an extra £10 that the 2nd top up could then be used to pay for texts abroad? What I don't want is to then get a bigger bundle! When I last used pay and go, I simply got £10 credit which reduced each time i used the phone.

Thanks, Sarah

Remember also that your bundle allowances won't work abroad so keep an eye on your balance.

If you are flying you shouldn't have a problem but if you are going by boat or ferry, don't switch on your phone as they have their own network with crippling charges.
