The Roam Further Pass is no good to you in Ukraine. It's only for USA, Canada, Mexico, NZ and Oz.

You don't need to buy a roaming add-on there. You can just use your UK allowances anywhere in the EU.

Hi @mb_e320 ,

I'm sure you are already aware that Ukraine is not a member of the EU and my monthly price plan says it is in Zone 6 for roaming (corrected from Zone 5 when calling from UK, I believe) which is considerably more expensive than EU countries.

Edit3: in an earlier version I said Ukraine was in Zone 5 but this would only be relevant for calling from the UK to Ukraine. As the OP is travelling to Ukraine, I changed the text to say Ukraine is in Zone 6 for roaming purposes. Apologies for not more clearly marking out the above edit. (Errors and omissions excepted.) 🤓

I would recommend that you look up the relevant price plan for your SIM and double check the situation.

Not "corrected"! Diff Zoning.
