Using O2 Travel
You’re only charged for O2 Travel on the days you use your phone abroad. It won't be triggered by receiving calls or texts, only if you make a call, send a message or use data.
The daily charge applies from midnight to midnight local time, based on the capital city of the country you're in.
If you're an O2 Travel customer and have used your device in an O2 Travel destination, you'll only be charged the daily rate of that destination for the days you've chosen to use the service. You can find details of how O2 Travel works above.
We'll try to include all your overseas call charges on your next bill, to help you keep track of your costs. If we don't get the details of calls you've made from another network for a while, this can delay us billing you for them. This doesn't happen often, and it's more common in the case of calls made from countries with smaller networks.
With My O2, you can manage your account and bills online. You can check your usage abroad at any time, without waiting for your next bill.
