Europe travel

[Chris53]

Hi. I will be travelling to Andorra for a week and using my monthly contract phone. I won’t be using it a lot and I’ll mainly be using WiFi but as I’ll be skiing and my partner won’t there will be the occasional message between us to hook up and arrange stuff while out and about. What is the cheapest option for that kind of usage?

What if I’m travelling outside the O2 Europe Zone?

If you're a Volt or Pay Monthly customer on selected O2 Refresh and sim only tariffs, you're eligible for the O2 Travel Inclusive Bolt On. It gives you unlimited minutes, texts and data roaming in 27 destinations outside Europe.

What if I don't have the O2 Travel Inclusive Bolt On or am travelling outside the O2 Travel Inclusive Zone?

If you’re on Pay Monthly, you can still get our full O2 Travel Bolt On for £6 a day in selected destinations. If you’re on Pay As You Go, you can get our O2 Travel Bolt On for £1.99 a day in selected destinations.

You'll be charged our standard rates if you don't have any of our O2 Travel Bolt Ons.

Sending a text will cost you 50p.

They are free to receive.

Beware of data costs though.

Andorra isn't part of the EU, so it is the Rest of World charges, due to the monopoly run by the Andorran Government'
