Your guide to o2 travel

[Anonymous]

This service allows you to stay connected on with your friends & family while you are abroad using your mobile from £1.99 a day. You can call, text & browse the Internet with o2 travel. There are different terms for pay monthly & pay as you go, we will come to these later. 

You will only be charged on the days that you use o2 travel. You will not be charged if you switch mobile data off & use wifi. NB: it is important to note that you will incur the £1.99 charge even if you only send one text. 

For pay monthly, the charge works on a cycle of midnight to 12.00am the next day UK time so you can get a whole 24 hours’ usage you are able to receive 120 minutes of call time free of charge before your o2 travel kicks in & you will be charged henceforth. There is no upper usage for data but the speeds you see will differ. 

Pay as you go will get you 100mb in Europe for the £1.99 charge per day. You will be charged for sending calls & texts to the UK but it is free to receive them. If you still have your data allowance or part of it left, it will not roll over to the next day. 

Inadvertent Roaming

Accidental roaming (sometimes known as inadvertent roaming) might occur if you are in an area close to national borders because your phone picks up the network across the border. If this happens, you may be charged as though you were roaming on the network across the border. You can prevent this if you live near a national border by setting your handset to do a manual network selection (as opposed to an automatic network selection) and select the O2 network. This way if you lose the O2 network your handset will not automatically try to connect you to an alternate network. For advice, please visit your nearest O2 store or contact customer services. 

If you text a UK phone abroad then you will not be charged for sending or receiving, the person that is abroad will incur the roaming charges.
