Top travel destinations

With Pay As You Go, you can use Go Roam in 70 destinations worldwide. Here are our top 10: 

Inadvertent roaming

Inadvertent roaming is when you connect to a network in another destination without meaning to. This can happen if you live or travel close to a coastline – where you can connect to a maritime network – or an international border. 

Connecting to another network may mean you pay higher roaming charges. To stop this from happening, switch off data roaming in your device settings. 

Find out how to switch off data roaming

Before you go

Keep your account at your fingertips wherever you go. 

Check your balance, top up, and get all the Data Packs and Add-ons you may need. 

Download the Three app

To use data abroad, you must have data roaming switched on in your device settings. If it’s switched off, you’ll only be able to call and text.

Manage roaming settings

Some networks abroad are switching off their 2G and 3G coverage, so having a 4G device is more important than ever. 

To stay connected while you’re abroad, you’ll need a 4G device with 4G calling or VoLTE enabled in your settings. 

Use our device support page to check if our device is compatible with 4G calling.
