O2 Travel - using data overseas

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am going away on Sunday and have the O2 travel activated on my account.

My question is that if I connect to the internet is the data truly unlimited? For £1.99 per day that seems like a really good deal and I don't want to get caught out and end up with a hefty bill if I use the internet quite a lot

thanks all

It is unlimited but speeds are throttled after you have used the first 100mb per day.

It's unlimited but you may well find it's slowed down after 100mb.

Not sure where you are going....but use WiFi wherever you can. That way you want get that hefty bill you were talking about

You won't be charged any more than £1.99 a day as long as you are on a EU network, for data use.

If you are anywhere near bordering countries not covered by o2 travel, make sure you use manual network selection to prevent charges.

Just had bill for £192 after visiting USA , roaming switched off and only used free internet ....... Beware 02 rip off

Switching off roaming is totally different to switching off mobile/cellular data. In any scenario you should have received a text stating you have reached the £40 threshold unless you have opted out. Call customer service to query the bill.

Maybe it was call and text charges?
Have you checked the breakdown in your MyO2 http://www.o2.co.uk/myo2 ?
