Hello. I have a PAYG £10 big bundle package. I am travelling to Jersey next week for 5 days & have recently discovered that under O2 Jersey is in neither UK nor Europe. I have the O2 travel optout Bolt On (included automatically, I think) which gives me calls at 4p/min, texts at 1p, & data at 4p/min when I am in Jersey. This sounds OK but I am more than likely to be using my phone for data and I'm not really sure what the free Wi-Fi is like & how much I'll need. (e.g What's App, tracking my location & finding my way around, etc).
Does anyone know what happens if I turn off the Bolt On? I don't want to risk it without guidance. I wondered if it would immediately give me the O2 Travel Bolt On which gives me 100mb of data at £1.99/day.
My alternative is buying a Jersey Telecom sim on arrival at £5/month with 5gb data and putting it into my 2nd sim slot....but I've seen earlier posts which suggests that using 2 sims causes problems.
Thanks in anticipation
Solved! Go to Solution.

Thank you for the updates. Not planning to use calls or texts but mostly WiFi (data or free when possible) while I'm there but grateful for the warning.

Thank you all. The phone switched automatically to JT (Jersey Telecom) and I'm roaming freely! What'sApp-ing with the other members of my travel group like mad and navigating around the island using various apps, maps & Google sites with abandon.
