Re: Texting ROI from UK

Hi all, I have the "O2 Sim Only Unlimited mins 12M Unlimited data" tariff, which includes free unlimited texts. Does this include texts to the Republic of Ireland, or just within the UK? Cheers.

@colonyink

Yes, you can use your allowances anywhere in Ireland.

Only in NI which is part of the UK, not ROI unfortunately.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

@MI5 I took the answer from your post here.

Hi yes you can use your allowances anywhere in Ireland.

NI is UK and Southern Ireland you would be covered by the included EU roaming laws so no extra costs in either country.

In this case the OP is asking if they can text ROI from UK, so a different question.

It's a pity that none of the roaming guides split the two.

Only shown as Ireland
