data roaming

[AthensLockdown]

I am living in Greece atm.

Will my charges be excessive if I continue to use data roaming post brexit

There are no changes planned currently.

We currently have no plans to change our ‘Roam Like at Home’ arrangements, and we remain committed to providing our customers with great connectivity and value when they travel outside the UK.

All current roaming details and charges are outlined on our web pages below:

There have been no changes to charges from any mobile  network as yet. However, O2 do have a roaming fair use policy, which means you are only allowed to use your phone abroad for 63 days in any 4 month period.

You may be better off using a local sim for a week or so, then using your O2 sim again.

O2 must text you if they are to impose any restrictions due to the length of time out of the Uk, however, we have not heard of any such instances during the Covid crisis, so they may be being lenient.

If restrictions are imposed, you must register back on O2-UK for the timer to be reset, so using a local sim for a week won't help unfortunately.
