From just £7.50 for 24 Hours - O2 Travel To include 200mins/200texts a day to align with the ROW Pass
With every 24 hours you are abroad, you can now receive 200mins and 200 texts. However, the new O2 bundle comes with strict conditions. They will allow you to breached the allowance 5 times. If you exceed this, then you will be advised via a message, that if you continue to breach the fair usage policy they will be taken off the ROW Pass and put on standard rates.
O2 have also created a 30 day roaming bundle - 30 Day - 2000 mins and 2000 texts per 30 days
This package is useful if a client knows they will be using data, calls and text everyday they are abroad for a long period. Same as the 24 hour plan, if a client goes over their allowance, then the customer will pay standard rates for additional usage.
The network have advised that the 24 hour pass will be automatically added to all tariffs.
Please note, the Rest Of World 30 Day Pass will NOT include Europe. All customers will be opted in to O2 Travel for this. The 87 countries that are included in the worldwide destinations will be published on 9th November. Click here for this information;
