@WS61 : If you're on contract you can't. You have to pay at least £25 for a billing month. But on PAYG you could pay £20 for 2 x 1 week roaming add-ons.

@WS61 The daily rate is £2.47 do the math and you’ll see that the £25 monthly roaming pass works out cheaper. Paying for each allows you to use your tariff allowance when in the EU. You can only use 50Gb of data per month if your tariff has this allowance or more

Whether you choose the daily charge or monthly charge, it covers all your UK allowances - voice calls, text messages & mobile data.

"Data roaming" - use of mobile data whilst roaming - is often confused with "roaming" - using your phone whilst abroad.

The daily charge is a roaming charge, not a data-roaming charge.
