Travel Abroad

[Cleoriff]

Hi All...in a couple of weeks I shall be going abroad for a few days. It will be the first time i have taken my new contract phone. (in the past as a PAYG customer it was simply a case of turning my phone on when landing and it found the appropriate network for me) With a contract phone do I have to let O2 know I am travelling abroad? Also is there anything else I should be aware of? (I wont be using the phone for internet or emails etc. It will be used purely for calling texting and sending pictures) Thanks for your help

Costs for Spain with O2 travel:

Outgoing calls - 50p connection charge, then out of your inclusive mins.  35p per min if you run out.

Incoming calls - 50p connection fee, no charge for first 59mins of the call - hang up if it gets to 59p to avoid charges

Texts - 8p

MMS - 25p

Data - £1.99 per day for 15mb data.  Use more than this and the O2 travel bolt-on is removed leading to higher call/text costs.

Just shows what a rip off it is why is an mms from another country 10p cheaper than in the UK

Not to confuse things - but as far as I'm aware this is changing on 18/03/13 to 15Mb on consumer as well as doing away with outgoing calls coming out your inclusive minutes.

I will double check this though and post back here.

We've been notifying some customers for a few weeks via SMS.

@opium then why has there not been a website update like the business o2 travel page?

It was a wap site being sent to customers for a few weeks, said it would be changing from 18th.

It was on an international wap site with "/travel-changes/" at the end of the URL but can't remember.

Just ignore me until i can get a definite link for you.

I am really pleased I posted my query re travel abroad. When i see all these follow on posts from the experts, re data etc, it seems to have opened up another 'can of worms'. (Doesn't affect me at all, but has been fascinating to read)
