Travel Pay & Go

[Anonymous]

I need data use only, for one month only, when in Greece. No calls or texts required.

o2 Travel Pay and Go rate is apparently £1.99 per day with a limit of 50MB per day.

However in requesting a SIM, I am given a choice, under “International Sim” of either 50MB at £10 per month or 100MB at £15.

How does this knit together with the £1.99 per day charge for up to 50MB.

I want to know the total cost to me of using 50MB per day for one month.

Thank you.

Thank you for the response. I like your answer but when I try to order the free P&G sim on line, I have to choose either "Big Bundles", "Big Talker", or "International" If I choose "International" I then get options such as "100MB for £15 per month" Thats where I loose it. Where does that charge fit in with the 50MB per day at £1.99 per day?

It's use from the UK not whilst abroad.

I think the above will be the best option. I am on a simplicity contract (though mine is for a year)

As I said earlier use is uk only so there is no benefit apart from retaining the top up. Big bundle takes the credit for your allowances which you can't use overseas.

I agree if there is sufficient time to get the sim only and swap the number.

OK, thanks very much for that. So are you saying I have to buy a UK bundle first (at minimum cost of £12.50 per month) just to get the sim up and running? After that I can get the Travel add-on so that I get my foreign use at £1.99 per 50MB per day on top of that? It starts to make sense if that's the case (though the O2 website is clear as mud) but makes it much more expensive, bearing in mind I have no use for it in UK. The cost for one month in Greece would go up to £75. I bit of a rip-off. So I guess I'm back to all the fiddling and hassle of getting a local sim for the month with a more likely overall cost of less than £30. Ironically it'll be from Greek O2!! Thanks for bottoming out my query.

I actually think we were suggesting a simplicity contract for 30 days https://www.o2.co.uk/shop/simplicity/#/tariffs

You summed it up nicely...overall cost £70 payandgo and £72.50 sim only though you do get 'unlimited' data high we know gets throttled at 100 MB. 

Unlocked phone, local sim is the way to go.

Surely this cost is very much dependent on whether @Anonymous uses O2 travel mobile data every day? If there is a chance of using WiFi then that cost would be much lower....
