Title: Mobile abroad
Post by: mcgee9t2 on 08 July 2014, 12:49: what do you guys do when abroad wanting to use mobile (im not talking about using mobile constantly, just a few texts a day to the other half/rents or a 5 min phone call)

was thinking of trying to get a deal or sim with unlimited internet or texts that i can use for the two weeks im there to allow me to have a quick chatt with the other half/parents and let them know im ok etc.

normally i use a pay as you go sim, stick £20 on and that just about lasts the whole ten days meaning i can call my mom and let her know im alive, but this time i have the gf and the rents to call and im going away for two weeks so will cost even more.

im on tmobile so if anybody works for them and is able to do a deal pm me ;) iv had a look at there bundles but they all seem to be for the day only, therefore meaning i will have to buy a bundle every day....

will pop into three today on the way home and tmobile and see what they can offer, but from what iv read on the web you can only get that with contract phones from three and tmobile only offer day boosters not a month or 2 week/1 week booster

Look for the "Roaming information & prices" section.
