Re: 7 day pass USA

I now gather one cannot get rooming in advance of travel abroad. My query is if I sign up for roaming when I arrive at the airport won’t that immediately trigger that days roaming charge just to sign up?

Morning @FrancisDurrant 

Thanks for coming to the community. 

As advised, the text you receive when you land will have full details on purchasing a roaming pass and the add-on page won't use any data 🙂

Our EE Roaming - Getting ready to use your phone abroad article has helpful details on using your phone abroad.

Have a lovely time.

And will it use a days roaming charge to sign up for roaming?

As per the roaming page - 

Look out for a text from EE with instructions on how to buy a roaming pass. Loading the page won't use any of your data.

@FrancisDurrant , if on monthly contract, please make sure that you have roaming enabled on your account before going abroad by texting ROAMING to 150, have a great time there.

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.

As others have said, you don’t get the text message to add a bundle until you land. 

The duration begins when you activate the add-on. 

E.g. if you added the bundle at 13:18 today for 7 days, it would expire at 13:18 next Friday. 

It’s not midnight to midnight (which is good), you get the full duration of your add on.
