What should you check before travelling?

- check the roaming costs for the countries you're visiting∘ go to our roaming costs calculator∘ if you're travelling within Europe to EU member states then you can use your allowances as you would at home with no extra charge∘ you’ll be charged a standard rate to use your phone outside of the EU - to access data, turn on data roaming in your device settings
- make sure your phone connects automatically to 4G when you're in the EU by checking your device is set to Automatic Network Selection∘ for help with this choose your device within our Phones & Devices guides and select Connectivity > Selecting Network
If you’re travelling to Greece or Cyprus
You can use your plan minutes, texts and data allowances at no extra cost. However, during your stay you might connect to a Turkish network. As Turkey is outside of the EU, should this happen, you'll be charged to make and receive calls and send texts and picture messages.
