What about data?
When you use data in any of the 48 countries in our Europe Zone you have your full UK monthly allowance available to you. It’ll come out of your monthly allowance, just like it would in the UK, as long as you’re on an eligible tariff.
If you run out of data whilst in our Europe Zone, you can buy more - the options and cost are the same as in the UK. If you buy more data and don’t use it all before returning from our Europe Zone, you’ll still be able to use it when you’re back in the UK. If you buy more data in the UK and then go to our Europe Zone, you can also use it there. If you haven’t bought a Bolt On then any additional data you use over your UK monthly allowance will be charged at our standard UK rate.
If you’re on an unlimited data tariff, you’ll be able to use up to 35GB data in our Europe Zone during your monthly bill cycle. If you use more than 35GB, you can continue to use data, but you’ll be charged 0.2p per MB. On some of our tariffs we have a £36 data overage cap for using data whilst in the EU, to protect you from a surprise bill when you return from your trip. If you’d like to remove the cap, get in touch. For more details see your Terms and Fair Usage Policy.

How to get roaming in our Europe Zone, built-in
If you're on a compatible tariff, we’ll send you a welcome message when you arrive in a destination in our Europe Zone. All you need to do is make sure your data roaming is switched on, and any minutes, texts, or data you use will come from your UK monthly allowance.
If you’re not on a compatible tariff, contact Customer Services or your Account Manager to see if you can move to one that allows you to use your UK minutes, texts and data in our Europe Zone, just like you do at home.
