In this article

Find out more about whether your data, calls and texts will come out of your UK allowance when you're roaming.

When you’re roaming in the EU all your calls, texts and data will come out of your UK allowance, just as they would at home. 

In non-EU countries, prices vary. Before you go:

  1.  

    check if your plan lets you use your phone abroad
  2.  

    check if your device is set up to use abroad – just text ROAMING to 150
  3.  

    turn on data roaming in your device settings
  4.  

    make sure your bill’s paid up to date or you’ve got credit

You can check roaming charges in the country you’re going to by texting RO followed by the name of the country to 150 eg RO USA.
