How do I text while I'm abroad?

This article explains how roaming works for text messaging, what charges may apply depending on your plan and destination, and how to prepare your device before you travel.

EE makes texting abroad affordable and straightforward, whether you're travelling within the EU or venturing further afield.

If you’re travelling in the EU, texting is included in your plan at no extra cost.

If you joined or upgraded to a 4GEE Max plan after 10 May 2017, you’ll also be able to text at no extra charge to an additional five countries: USA, Canada, Mexico, Australia and New Zealand.
