o2 travel payg - please clarify

Anonymous
Not applicable

I am struggling to wade through the whole thread on o2 travel, so apologies if this has been covered,.

Context:

I am on PAYG, going to Germany next month for a week.

Will text back to UK maybe a couple of times a day, and also text to other UK phone in same place as me. Might want to use a bit of mobile data, might not, depending on wifi in hotel.

Should I be on O2 travel bolt on or not? I have used it whilst abroad before, and only when I used mobile data was it activated and I paid the daily fee.

My confusion lies I think with any differences between this new O2 travel on payg and pay monthly.

Is the PAYG o2 travel much the same as it always was, or is it too now activated by a single text as I understand the pay monthly one is?

Thanks in advance.

I can't compute how O2 PAYG can work with O2 Travel.

Surely you would need to load up with sufficient for a 14 day holiday, 14 x £1.99=£27.86 to guarantee network connection.

Would anybody like to explain ?

Yes but I never had trouble topping up with PAYG when abroad as I had 3 cards registered and could top up very easily....just use 4444 top up...

Payg. Topping up. O2 Travel? (To quote yourself) Surely you would need to load up with sufficient for a 14 day holiday, 14 x £1.99=£27.86 to guarantee network connection.
