Roam Abroad Pass

[kpnuts4]

Has anyone used the £10 Roam Abroad Pass? - Use your inclusive minutes, texts and data in the USA, Canada, Mexico, Australia and New Zealand and it won’t cost you any extra – so there’s no nasty surprises when you return home. 

I would say this is is a bit misleading as in the terms and conditions it states: 'Remember, data fair use policy outside UK of 15GB applies'

The £2 daily roaming charge says that you can 'use your data and minutes as you would in the UK '  so am I right in thinking the £10 pass isn't worth it for short trips or you plan usage of more than 15GB - which is a few hours of HD streaming!

Any thoughts or comments welcome

Where does 15Gb come from, its 50Gb of Data (Pay Monthly) unless its changed, the Roam £10 gives you the in same Data Usage Aboard as your monthly UK Plan, ie not 50gb EU limited) 

The EU £2 per Day works out at £60 per month (if used every day)  compared to £10 for the Roam Further plus it includes more Countries.

@kpnuts4 : The FUP for EU & those other 5 countries on contract is 50GB / billing month if you have more & you must have a contract to buy the Roam Abroad Pass. You've been reading the PAYG T&C's.

1 month of Roam Abroad Pass is cheaper than 6 or more days of the £2 daily roaming charge.

Hi EssexBoyEE,

I have a new galaxy S23 Ultra in my basket and if I choose 'Roam Abroad Pass' the see more link - T&C's says:

£10.00 (inc VAT) a month. Available to new and existing Consumer and Small Business Customers on a Pay Monthly Plan or selected 12 month SIM only phone plans. The add-on starts as soon as we receive your request. Offer subject to change. You can cancel at any time. Deposit needed for roaming in limited circumstances. Subject to credit check. Access your standard plan allowances in the USA, Canada, Mexico, Australia and New Zealand in addition to the UK & EU/EEA. Remember, data fair use policy outside UK of 15GB applies. See ee.co.uk/terms for countries and details. Allowances last until next bill or until used up, whichever comes first. Allowances don’t roll over. Our stable links policy applies, as set out in the Plan Terms. Once you have used up the allowance, or hit your 15GB fair use amount, standard rates apply as set out in the Non-Standard Price Guide.
Please note that Roam Abroad will also include roaming in EU countries from January 2022, when changes to EU roaming charges come into effect.

If I go away for 5 days but use more than 15gb it will cost me more than the £10 add on, or am I missing something?

The page while in the Galaxy basket about the Roam Abroad Pass T&C's in respect of the FUP hasn't been updated. It contradicts How do I get the Roam Abroad Pass? :

Good to know:

If your plan comes with more than 50GB of data per month, a fair use policy of 50GB will apply when roaming abroad.
