How does the Roam Abroad pass differ from the Roam Further pass?
From 7 July 2021, our roaming pass was renamed as Roam Abroad instead of Roam Further. The benefits of Roam Abroad and Roam Further are the same.
If you're already using Roam Further as an Inclusive Extra or add-on on 7 July 2021 you can continue to use it until you reach the end of your contract or upgrade. If you swap it for another Inclusive Extra or cancel it in that time, you'll still have the option to add it back on to your account.
Plans taken after 29 August 2024

You’ll get EU destinations and Roam Further countries already included as a benefit in your plan. You don’t need to add anything.
Essential Plus and All Rounder price plans
You’ll get EU destinations listed already included as a benefit in your plan. If you want to Roam Further, you’ll need to add the Roam Further pass.
All other 2024 price plans do not come with any Roaming inclusive benefits, so you’ll need to add a Roam Abroad pass to benefit from the reduced pricing.

How do I get the Roam Abroad Pass?
To add the Roam Abroad Pass to your plan as a chargeable standalone add-on:
- text ROAMING PASS to 150
Or select the pass as your Inclusive Extra if you have an All Rounder or Full Works plan.
- log in to EE or use the EE app
- go to Menu > Plans, Inclusive Extras & add-ons
- select Inclusive Extras and follow the steps to select the pass
How much does the Roam Abroad Pass cost?
£25 per month. This cost will be added to your monthly mobile bill and will appear as a separate line in the add-ons section of your bill. If you add this service in the middle of your monthly billing period then the cost in the first month will be prorated.
Do you have a plan that includes Inclusive Extras?
If you do, then you can add the Roam Abroad Pass to your plan free of charge. You may need to remove one of your currently selected Inclusive Extras to do this though.
What happens if I select the Roam Abroad Pass as an Inclusive Extra?
If you select the pass as an Inclusive Extra but are currently paying for the pass, the chargeable version will be removed and replaced with the Inclusive Extras version.
Need to know
If you change from the chargeable version to the Inclusive Extras version in the middle of your billing month, we'll credit your next bill with any remaining days on your chargeable version.
What if I run out of data while roaming in a Roam Abroad country?
You'll be able to purchase a data add-on. When you switch your device on abroad, we'll send you a text message with full details on how to purchase a data add-on.
Do I need to sign a contract for the Roam Abroad Pass?
The Roam Abroad Pass is a 30-day rolling add-on so once added it will stay on your account, with the cost added to your monthly mobile bill, until you remove it.
This means you have the flexibility to add the Roam Abroad Pass to your account for one month, remove it the following month and then re-add the month after.
Do you have an All Rounder or Full Works plan taken before 29 August 2024?
If you've selected the pass as an Inclusive Extra in your All Rounder or Full Works plan, there are no additional charges or contracts to sign.
How do I remove my roaming pass?
If you have the pass as a chargeable standalone add-on:
- text STOP ROAMING PASS to 150
If you cancel during your monthly billing period you’ll be charged £25 for the full month, not just for the days you had the pass.
Alternatively, if you have the pass as an Inclusive Extra:
- log in to EE or use the EE app
- go to Menu > Plans, Inclusive Extras & add-ons
- select Inclusive Extras and follow the steps to select the pass
