EU roaming up to 25GB, at no extra cost

Your data (subject to roaming limit), minutes and text allowances will work in our Europe
Zone just like they do at home. That’s because we’re the only major network to include roaming in
our Europe Zone as part of our tariffs (up to 25GB).

If your UK monthly data allowance is over 25GB, you'll have a roaming limit of 25GB when
roaming in our Europe Zone. This means you can use up to 25GB of your allowance at no extra cost – we'll text you if you're getting close to the limit, and again if you reach it. If you reach the limit, you'll need to buy a data Bolt On. If your UK data allowance is less than 25GB this amount will apply in the EU too.
