*RLAH – What is this?
- Stands for Roam Like At Home
- It means that when you’re in Zone 1 (EU/EEA), you can use your inclusive allowances at no extra charge, and if you do happen to go outside your allowances, you pay the same as you would in the UK
**Zone 7 (restricted) – what does this mean?
- Zone 7 is a restricted zone – this means we cannot guarantee you will receive any service whilst in these countries
Charges FAQs
What’s the difference between International and Roaming?
- International = when you’re in the UK, calling/ texting someone who is not in the UK
- Roaming = when you use your phone (calls, SMS or data) when you are not in the UK
- It is always advisable to call in to customer services prior to travelling, just to ensure there are no bars on your account
- All incoming calls whilst you are in the UK are free
- Typically, you’d be billed on your next invoice, however, it can take up to 3 months to be billed for any international or roaming charges
- Usually your handset will select a network automatically, however, this isn’t always the case. If you are getting no service, try manually selecting a network in your device settings
- If the above doesn’t work, you will need to contact customer services
