Bolt On Europe.

[Anonymous]

Can anyone explain this please. Does it come out of my allowance ?

No, you will pay the standard rates.
Ideally you need the O2 travel bolt on for EU countries.

You can check what the standard rates are that you will pay here for comparison purposes http://www.o2.co.uk/international/internationalhub

Another option which does use your call and text allowance when abroad is tugo if used over a WiFi connection.

Or, if you travel regular to a particular country get a local sim and use tugo over 3/4g

But remember to disable after 7th April, otherwise you'll be charged £1.99 flat rate, even if you only send one text message!

All information is correct at the time of posting.

Anyone with any concerns should always check back for updates or any changes to policy etc.

I am in a perfect situation to test all this out. I go to Spain on the 22nd of March and return the day after the changes kick in. It will be interesting to see the texts I get from O2....

Oh, you're expecting a text are you ?

Well I get one from O2 as soon as I land...so surely if there are changes I 'should' get a second one?
