O2 travel

[JamesM1]

On pay monthly and going to Thailand so i have added o2 Travel which costs £6 if make an international call, but what about receiving calls? Is this covered by the £6 per day or do i pay a high rate per minute?

Also should I switch on roaming to receive and make calls?

@JamesM1 - once activated, £7/day, covers incoming and outgoing calls. Turn off Voicemail to make sure it does not kick in on days you don't plan calls.

Yes, roaming needs to be enabled in your phone and no roaming bar in your account.

You can use the O2 Travel Bolt On, which gives you unlimited minutes, texts and data for just £7 a day. You can opt-in to O2 Travel by texting TRAVEL to 23336. You’ll only be charged for the days you use it.

A cheaper way, if you just need data for WhatsApp is to get a local SIM card, our local expert @jonsie can advise on that best.

Thank you. What does no roaming bar in my account mean?
