Extra charges guide

Help and support

Some types of calls, messaging and data use aren’t included in your tariff, so you’ll be charged extra for them. And if you use up your normal allowance of calls, texts or data, you’ll be charged for any usage on top of this. Take a look at the tables to see how much you’ll pay.

Our Extra charges are changing from 9 January 2025 to:
•    Pay Monthly Extra charges
•    Pay As You Go Extra charges
