ROAMING IN CHINA AND PHILIPPINES

Paul_Mel — Mon, 02 Sep 2024 22:39:35 GMT

I am travelling to the Philippines and I want to be able to send text messages whilst away. I am using a Pay As You Go SIM.

Do I just Text ROAMING ON to 150?

What can I do if I wish to make calls?

Thanks.

@Paul_Mel : Texting ROAMING to 150 is only for contracts. As you are on PAYG, just make sure you have already used your PAYG SIM to make a call or text in the UK.

Outside the EU, you cannot use your usual UK allowances there but will need to pay the charges or buy roaming add-ons as set out in https://ee.co.uk/help/mobile/roaming/roaming-costs/countries/philippines > PAYG.

When I go to Thailand I usually just get a Thai sim card when I arrive as its cheaper for roaming/texting etc
