Fair use policy - 50gb per monthly cycle?

Bloody-Brexit — Mon, 08 May 2023 16:49:09 GMT

Hi, I'm going to be travelling in France/Spain/Germany for 6 weeks and will be working for a period of that time and my job is data hungry (I use a 4G mobile data router in my motorhome).

My question is whether the £15 roaming fee is for 50gb per monthly cycle, or will I be charged £30 for two months, but still only receive a limit of 50gb.

Thanks!

@Bloody-Brexit If you purchase the roam abroad pass it’s £15 per month and you get 50Gb of data per month if your tariff allowance has this or more.

The FUP of 50 GB data is per billing month. As is the £15 charge for the Roam Abroad Pass.

For 6 weeks in the EU you'll be charged at least £30 & have the use of at least 100 GB over the period. However in some cases it is possible for 6 weeks to span over 3 billing periods.

@Bloody-Brexit

The fair usage limit was in place on EE before BREXIT FYI.

Best buy a local SIM if you are intending on using more. I would also suggest you make sure roaming is activated as you can buy the add on even when roaming is not activated.

Thanks

Thanks Northerner. It's a good point, FUP was in place before Brexit - but it didn't cost me £15 per month, per device.
