Hey everyone, 

 

I have some fantastic news for those who are lucky enough to be off on their summer holidays soon! You can now use your phone abroad in our Europe Zone destinations as you would in the UK at no extra cost. Billed as the biggest EU regulatory change we have ever undertaken, you can travel to 47 European destinations without incurring roaming charges.

 

Your data, minutes and text allowances will work in O2’s Europe Zone destinations just like they do at home. If you go over your allowances you can add a data bolt on as you would in the UK and your minutes/texts will be charged at the standard domestic retail rate.

 

Check out the community roaming guides for contract and pay as you go

 

There's also some info on the O2 website here

 

Is anyone off on holiday soon and will be taking advantage of roaming?

 

What devices will you be roaming on? 

 

Will you be using roaming for work or a personal holiday? 

 

Let us know in the comments below slight_smile

That's a great question @MI5 I'll add it to the list. If there are any clashes with previous account setups that need to be changed I'll find out.

Throttled as a generic term rather than a deliberate process....

Berlin was one of the better roaming experiences for me. Hopefully Cologne will be the same. Enjoy 🌞

@MI5 I've had a few responses to roaming questions today and I can confirm that there will be no conflict between O2 Travel and roam like at home in Europe. So you can have O2 Travel active and it wont effect your roaming in Europe as O2 Travel only applies when outside the covered European countries.

Good to know but I guess we still need to know why speeds are so slow?

@MI5 I'll see if there is an official response to the speed question but I believe it's already been confirmed that the speeds are not being throttled or restricted based on usage.

That is correct Martin, but users are still reporting 0.2mbps speeds.
