Because we're partnered with Vodafone, you will be able to use your phone from just about anywhere you travel in the world. Your phone should automatically be set to search automatically for the "preferred" network when you arrive in your destination. You can check this by looking at your settings and network settings and checking "auto selection" is highlighted. Please note that this may vary by handset type.
In some countries network compatibility is dependent on the use of a compatible phone. In North and South America, for example, you will need to use a tri-band compatible phone, and some other areas of the world may require a quad-band device. For South Korea and Japan you'll also need a 3G compatible phone to connect to the network. If you are in any doubt as to your handset compatibility then please call us on 2732 from your mobile before you leave the UK so that we can check this for you.
If you receive any voice messages whilst abroad then please be aware that a security code must be setup prior to leaving the UK to allow you to access your voicemail from abroad.
To set a voicemail security code firstly call 121 from your mobile, then select option 1 for the Main Menu, option 4 for Mailbox Settings, option 2 for Mailbox Security and then option 2 to change or add a security code. To access your voicemail from abroad you can dial +447836121121
Alternatively you can switch your voicemail off before you leave the UK by dialling 1210 from your mobile. To turn it back on, when you arrive back in the UK, simply dial 1211 from your mobile.
We recommend that you top-up before you go abroad however you can also call +448704522732 or 2732 from your mobile to top-up at anytime.
Video messages sent while abroad will cost 55p plus a data charge. Data is charged at 69p per megabyte in the EU and £7.50/megabyte in the rest of the world so the cost will vary dependent on the length of the message.
