*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
Do I need to do anything to use my services whilst abroad?
  • It is always advisable to call in to customer services prior to travelling, just to ensure there are no bars on your account
What about receiving calls in the UK?
  • All incoming calls whilst you are in the UK are free
When will I be billed?
  • 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
I’m getting no service whilst abroad, what should I do?!
  • 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
