What’s included and what’s not included?

Included in your daily O2 Travel charge will be all the data you need, 120 minutes to make and receive calls and 120 texts. You'll only be charged on the days you choose to use O2 Travel and the daily charge applies from midnight to midnight UK time and won't be triggered by receiving calls or texts.

Any unused data, calls and texts won't be carried over to the following day. If you go over the daily allowances you'll be charged the standard roaming rates. Premium rate numbers, MMS (picture messages) and other non-standard texts are also not included and will be charged at standard domestic rates.

Opting out of O2 Travel

If you decide that O2 Travel is not right for you, you can opt out by texting NOTRAVEL to 23336. If you opt out, you'll be charged for any data, minutes and texts usage at the standard roaming rates. Data outside of Europe is charged at £6/MB.

Are there any changes now post Brexit?

[jonsie]

None of the networks are making changes as yet

[Will-44]

@jonsie I didn't see any reporting on this when the Brexit deal was announced so maybe mobile networks are exempt from deals made between Britain and the European Union.

Remember it works both ways, so EU citizens visiting the UK get the same benefits. It's in the interests of all networks across Europe to maintain the system that's currently working.
