PAYG sim abroad

deecee22 · ‎09-06-2022

I have an EE mini wifi modem that I have used for over a year. Can i buy an EE data sim card in the UK for use in Europe. I am unlikely to be able to buy a local data sim card where I am travelling as advised by travel blogs.

Hello @deecee22 ,

Welcome to the community,

If you buy an EE pay as you go SIM card in the UK, you will have to make sure that you activate and use it here in the UK before using it abroad. Just bear in mind, depending where you go abroad, it could turn out to be expensive, although Europe should not be too bad, I would suggest checking the cost of data and where possible, use wifi when available, there should be no reason why you cannot use it abroad, but must also make sure that you have enough credit for use abroad.

To contact EE customer service dial 150 from your mobile phone or ring customer service for free using web based app or another phone: +44 800 079 8586 or +44 800 956 6000.
