Great prices and coverage means staying in touch when you're away has never been easier.
Roaming in the EU?
We've lowered our EU text and internet roaming prices. And making voice calls to the UK and within the EU is better value too. It costs 38p per minute to call the UK or any other EU country from within the EU, but the minimum charge will now only be 30 seconds instead of a minute, after which you'll be charged per second. Incoming calls still cost 14p per minute and will now have no minimum charge, so you'll just be charged by the second.
It now costs just 10p to send a text message. Receiving them is still free. Internet data is now only £1.25 per MB. Each MB of data is the equivalent of viewing about 100 web pages on your phone, or three pages on your PC.
EU roaming data limit
We don’t think you should spend more money than you want to when using the internet on your phone or Mobile Broadband while in the European Union. So to help you manage costs abroad, we’ve set an EU roaming data limit for all our customers of £45 each month. For further information, including details of how to change this limit please go to EU roaming data limit .Mobile Broadband

Roaming in Ireland?
Our Republic of Ireland prices (ROI 10p) give you a 10p flat rate for calls and texts to the UK when you're roaming in the ROI on the 3 Ireland network. So calls to the UK cost 10p a minute and texts to the UK cost 10p each. And it won't cost you a penny to receive calls and texts. Our ROI 10p rate doesn't apply to internet data, so please see the price guide for internet data prices.
For full terms and conditions, please go to ROI 10p page.
Free voicemail diverts when you're abroad.
On our network all calls are automatically diverted to your voicemail for free when you‘re abroad if you don’t answer or are unable to take the call. This means that you don’t need to manually divert calls.
Please be aware that standard roaming charges will apply for listening to your voicemail messages when you’re abroad.
If you’ve manually diverted calls to your voicemail or any other number, you can automatically reset your voicemail by pressing ##002#.
Cheap calls beyond the EU too
If you’re going further afield, you can still call home at great rates. Just check our international charges
Staying at home?
No worries. You can still enjoy low rates Calling from the UK - Pay Monthly when you’re calling your friends and family. So there’s no excuse not to keep in touch.
