EUROPE Roaming from June 2023, I how do I pay the £10.00 charge for one week?

[XRaySpeX · Accepted solution]

@jasna_pecaric : Roaming charges are being introduced for using your pack allowances in the EU for PAYG from 06/06/23 as either £2.50 / day, by texting ROAMEU1D to 150, or £10 / week, by texting ROAMEU7D to 150, to be taken only from your PAYG credit, not your recurring card payment. If you text neither you will be paying standard rates for calls & texts.

bOOST to check the status of your FREE BOOST,

I’ve got the same. EE seems to be totally unprepared bit I guess they would have no issues charging for calls and data, this will work for sure

Hello, 

On your arrival to a European country you will receive a welcome text message with the option to opt into either the daily or seven day charge. You must have the available funds on your account as credit and have a subscription pack active to be able to opt into these. 

More information can be found HERE. 

Thanks, 

Katie

Just to clarify, I do have founds and I did receive a text; however when replying using ROAMEU7D nothing happened, apart from some general txt with list of codes. This is the issue other users have reported. 

[Katie_B]

Hi @Ewaa. 

Could you please confirm you have an active subscription pack in place?

Speak soon,

Katie

[Paul330]

I have the same problem. I have active subscription pack and founds on PAYG.

[Katie_B]

Hi @Paul330. 

Do you also receive a text back with codes that can be text to 150?

Katie
