Using your phone in our Europe Zone
Going abroad? Good news. We cover roaming in Europe as part of our tariffs. So your minutes, texts, and data allowances will work in our Europe Zone, just like they do at home.
This means that you'll be able to make and receive calls and send and receive texts within our Europe Zone, like you'd normally do in the UK.
We've gone even further than the new roaming regulations and added the Channel Islands, Switzerland and Monaco to our Europe Zone.
- 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. Any data you use over your UK monthly allowance will be charged at our standard UK rate.
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.
Normal roaming charges will apply if you use your phone in a country outside of our Europe Zone.

- How to get roaming in our Europe Zone, built-in
You may have got a message from us explaining whether or not you’re eligible for roaming built-in. If you're not eligible, you might need to move to a compatible tariff.
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.
