What complications? Asking because I have a RWG SIM card I’m using right now
Gordon, Bea took on Reglo, card used in her iPad. Both our GiffGaff worked for a while, they then cut us off, as we had not used our phones within UK for x amount of time. But GG still took our DD payments.
Hi, We have just got back from our 90 day trip around France, Spain & Portugal, we use a Nighthawk M1 4G LTE Mobile Router - MR1100, with iD sim at £16 all unlimited, with free roaming, after 63 days we got message from iD telling us it is being transferred to Pay as you go until the signal is registered in UK again, then it will reset back to unlimited.
Good, I’m pleased to know that as I got my 200gb RWG sim a few weeks ago in readiness for our next adventure abroad. I’m using it in my iPad for now for everything to get some useage out of it - 50gb so far. It uses the EE network, how good or bad that is across the channel I’ve no idea.
Across the Channel, you are not tied to any network, although there may be a preferred network, possibly Orange in France. If no Orange signal, it should automatically connect to another network. If Orange has insufficient bandwidth, manually select an alternative network.
iD Mobile's website states: "Roam free. In more destinations than any other network, up to 30GB.3" "3. 30GB limit if your UK allowance is 30GB or more. Roaming subject to fair usage & open data policies. Roaming comparison versus all UK network offerings for new subscribers - April 2023." So looks as though they're now restricting roaming to 30GB/month max.
Hi, I just checked with iD and they say there's a 30GB/month cap on use when roaming (France) irrespective of which data package you have. Are you saying that you haven't been capped?
Roaming on iD is 63 days, no matter what contract you have, and on some contracts but not all it then converts to Pay as you Go, I have had long discussions with iD about this, hence why I came out of unlimited (because of their fair usage policy, they can stop you even if you only used 100Gb, as happened to my friend and others), and got a 200Gb free roaming contract, because it is a contract wording "200Gb free roaming" they must honour that. my wifes is an earlier contract at £16 a month, my one is new at £12 a month, must say we have only just got back from 90 day European tour, cards have not let us down, and even though on the last 27 days we were supposed to on "Pay as you Go" we have not received extra charges.
Yes that's right, every day for all the 90 days we have used both phones for face time, phones calls through Whats app, maps etc, ipad ( wife watching films) and use of the laptop every day, using laptop for internet for at least 3 hours a day, never let us down, and for £12 a month I think that is a bargain.
But are those deals still available? I have found 3 SIM Only offers of 200GB and when placed in the basket all of them state:
I am not sure, I think so, as you can see from my bill, since I have been away I normally use between 80Gb to 150Gb a month, and my bill shows I have never been charged more than my £12 a month, I have been away since March, and what I don't use gets carried over, up to 400Gb, and this month I have already used over 24Gb, and still got 24 days to go before the next month.
Yes your right, I tried to sign up as a new customer, and it now as the 30Gb*, that is only a recent development, maybe because of all the discussions we been having with them, that now they are printing that statement, that is sad, because they said they were not going to follow other providers since Briexit.
