International roaming and travel pass

Do I need to activate international roaming before being able to use a travel pass or can a travel pass be used without international roaming?

Hi Yewenyi,
If you have a Post-Paid service International Roaming will need to be active so that it works on a network outside of Australia. A Travel Pass simply helps with keeping costs down if you need to use your service while overseas.

  • International Roaming and Whats it all about.

    Roaming and what’s it about?Roaming is when you are no longer able to Pick Up your home Network (O2-UK). This is normally when you are in another country. However it is possible to pick up French Network when in UK and the Irish Networks when you’re still in Northern Ireland.  But if you phone is displaying anything else beside O2-UK or BT Cellnet (On Some Older Phones), then you are Roaming on a Foreign Network and Roaming Charges will apply if Services are used. Is O2-IE the same as O2-UK?Answer is no. O2-IE is a completely independent business to O2-UK and therefore Roaming Charges would apply.O2-IE (O2 Ireland) and O2-UK (O2 United Kingdom) are both Part of the Telefonica Group, but this is all and is 2 Separate businesses  Do I need to Activate Roaming?If you are an O2 PAYG Customer then Roaming is activated automatically as you can only spend what you have in Credit.O2 Contract customers may need to call 202 to confirm they have Roaming Activated on their account if they have never used the service before or had issues in the past.  How does Roaming Work?When you travel outside your Home Network, your Mobile Phone Sim will ask the Roaming (Foreign) network first if it can use the services on their Network. (You IMEI number of your phone is also sent to verify it’s not the Stolen / Missing Database as well) The Foreign Network will take details from your Sim card and go back to the International Centre and check if O2 has an agreement first to use the Network and then if the Sim card is activated to use the Roaming. (This is why there is a delay sometimes in first switching on your mobile to you getting a signal and a Network Name) If all comes back ok, then the Sim will receive instruction and you notice the Roaming Network Name shown on your phone. What you may not know is that when the phone is authorised to use the Roaming Network, It is given a temporary allocated foreign number of the country you are visiting. So you may have someone calling you and they may notice that the Ring tone suddenly sounds different in their Earpiece and not like the UK Ring. This is because of the Foreign Number allocated and that you are roaming on their Countries Network. One this you will never know though is the Temporary Roaming Number as this is only a Forward number and changes.  So what charges do you pay for when roaming?Making Calls?                     Yes you pay for all of the Call.Receiving Calls?                                Yes you pay for the Roaming country Inbound Part of the Call.Sending a SMS?                                Yes you pay to send a SMS.Receiving a SMS?             No it’s free to receive a SMS.Sending a MMS?              Yes you pay to send a MMS.Receiving a MMS?           You may be charged for Data Usage to receive the MMS ( I never have on O2, But I know other UK networks charge)Data Usage                         Is all chargeable  The Person who is Calling or Texting you from the UK. This is where a lot of confusion becomes and people become worried regarding charges.                        Simple Fact to Remember:Even though the person you are contacting is abroad. You are still only calling their UK Mobile Number. So treat it as they are still in the UK. So for example: If you have free UK Text allowance, it will still be Free (Your Texting a UK mobile Number)If you have Free UK Minutes, then again you are calling a UK Mobile Number, so it will use your UK Minutes Allowance.If you don’t have Free Allowances, then you will be charged at your normal standard Rate of ringing a UK or Texting a UK Mobile number  Couple of Questions and Answers that may come in useful: Q)   I’m abroad and my friend is abroad, will I be charged to contact my friend as I’m only calling a UK Mobile numberA)   Yes, even though you are calling a UK Mobile Number. You are not in the UK and the person you are calling isn’t, so you will pay the Roaming Charges to make the call and the person who is receiving the call will pay the inbound part of the charge Q)   Why am I charged twice for Voice Mail Messages?A)   When someone tries to contact you and you don’t answer, the call is then passed back to the O2-UK voice mail as a return call, So you pay for the Return part of the call even though you didn’t answer your Mobile. Then when you want to listen to your voice mail, you pay to make the call and listen to it. So this is where Double Charges apply Q)   Why are inbound SMS free when I’m abroad?A)   This was set by the EU Telecoms Parliament, that any EU Mobile Company must allow their users to allow incoming SMS for Free anywhere in the world. Q)   What is the Difference between Roaming and Home Networks?A)   Your home network is in your network where you purchased the Sim from. So if you purchased your Sim card in the UK and from O2, your home network would be O2-UK and you would be allocated a UK Mobile number.Roaming is when you are no longer on your home network. So for example you go to Spain and you pick up Telefonica ES. This mean you are Roaming on a Spanish Network. If you have any other questions please ask and I will gladly try to answer them and will keep editing the 1st thread to make it easier for everyone to read.

    All calls to the UK to landline numbers use the international code +44 and drop the first zero. Mobiles you normally just dial the number as you would if in the UK but on some US networks you do have to use the +44.Some info here to call the BVI from the US.http://www.countrycallingcodes.com/results.php?FromCode=United+States&ToCode=British+Virgin+IslandsBe awre of the call costs from the USA :When in:       Calling:  Landlines - per minute99pMobiles - per minute£1.49 Receiving calls - per minute99pSending texts - per message49pCost per MB of using data:Data usage£6 

  • Q10 and international roaming

    I am traveling to India and use active synch on my Q10 device.
    Others in my company have traveled internationally and have issues receiving e-mail.
    The device is configured for international roaming and use.
    We verified with our carrier that there are no bandwidth or usage restrictions on the account.
    I am using BB 10 OS and release 10.1.0.2030.
    I am looking for a solution so I can pass this along to my other colleagues that want to upgrade their devices.
    While travellng next week, I am willing to try different settings to have this work like other smart devices (IOS, Android)
    Does anyone know of a pending OS upgrade to solve this?  I am willing to participate in beta testing while in India.

    Our SIM cards are active internationally.  The intent is to not require the users to change their sim cards when they move from country to country.  They need to have the same phone number regardless of where they are travelling.
    I am using the US ATT sim card in india.  It founnd a local carrier when turned on after our flight.
    There is no specific carrier.  I've seen the carrier change from Vodaphone, to IDEA, Reliance, Tata depending where I travel in india.  This is not an issue when using older version of BB.
    When walking through the airport in Mumbai yesterday (Saturday night Mumbai time), the device searched for a carrier and then services were lost.  I had to power down the device and removed the battery and sim card.  Both were put back in and the device started working properly after the restart.  So far, the phone is synching OK.  The real test will be tomorrow when I start receiving more e-mail.
    There are no error messages that display on the phone.
    Both the Network Subset and Service provider are unlocked.

  • International roaming

    Which telco did you prefer to use to make or recieve call while abroad using your Blackberry?
    Digi/Celcom/Maxis or any other mobile operator?
    Can you guys share the cheapest rate and roaming experience? TQ!
    Is data roam or communication is important for you? or is it both?

    Ridgebacks --
    My SO and I have been AT&T/Cingular wireless customers for years. We travel out of country; destinations are generally Mexico, Canada and frequently China. We have experience with AT&T international roaming and Edge data international roaming plans. (We have an AT&T wireless card with data plan for our laptops for emergencies.)
    SO has a Blackberry, which he relied on completely during a recent trip in China, when he spilled a Coke on his laptop inflight. The BB bundled data plan is more expensive than the iPhone plan, but it incorporates receipt of messages almost anywhere in the world. However, SO seldom uses his BB as a phone in China/Hong Kong, because AT&T roaming charges (phone) are high. He has a dedicated cell phone with a Hong Kong #.
    As well, the wireless card is used out of country only in emergencies. Edge roaming rates do apply and are incredibly high, even in Mexico.
    I doubt that AT&T will deviate very much from their historic billing policies for the iPhone. I have seen on some message boards that AT&T is offering an international data plan for use with the iPhone, but that one must purchase it for at least a year. There is no "purchase as needed monthly" option. I don't know what the rate is for that plan.
    My suggestion, if you don't want to use airplane mode, is to turn your email accounts "off" under settings. That way, phone is functional, but the network won't download email. That's what I'll probably do next time I'm ooc.

  • Using Whatsapp  to call incurred international roaming charges

    Please permit me to introduce myself
    Account Number: [removed]
    Executive summary:
    I used an Iphone App called Whatsapp that allows users to exchange online messages and even calling. I used that app to make an app to app call to a friend in India.
    And I was shocked to see that Verizon has billed all the talk time to international roaming and the bill is a HUGE amount close to $775
    Issue in detail
    Total minutes talked - 296
    Billed - $775+ (at international roaming rate $2.30/minute)
    Please consider the following facts
    -I used Whatsapp to talk to Iphone app to app call
    -I had called same Whatsapp number in india
    -A few times all happened with in a month/same billing cycle
    -First time it happened in my history with Verizon
    -I don't have  international plan so I did not know my cell phone can make international calls through Verizon (Have never made one via cell phone/verizon)
    -I have no way of knowing that this is being charged to my account until I see the bill (I saw and reported this within a week of the ebill date)
    -The app clearly says this //Using WhatsApp while your phone is connected to Wi-Fi should not incur charges from your carrier. Please note that some Wi-Fi networks may have charges or usage fees.//
    http://www.whatsapp.com/faq/en/iphone/20970433
    Please consider the following as a LOYAL verizon customer
    - 15 year LOYAL verizon mobile customer (customer since 2000 since I landed in the US)
    - Never left Verizon , not even once
    - Always paid my bill on time (automatic payments)
    - Have converted MANY customers from other carriers to Verizon
    In this background I would humbly request you to put yourself in my shoes and see this issue as a mistake/software glitch which I had no way of knowing until I see the bill.
    I request you to do the needful to see it as what it is , a mistake , that was not done by me but a software of which I have no knowledge of.
    Being a long standing LOYAL Verizon customer , I beseech you to do the right thing and reverse all the charges related this incident.
    Following is the log of my efforts to work with Verizon customer support
    Dates called April 5th 1 hr
    April 6 - 4 hrs
    Ian did the right thing
    He converted the calls to regular international long distance from 2.39/min to 29 cents a minute , convenience plan.
    I agreed and he said its waiting on supervisor's approval which is 24 hrs.
    I called again April 7 I was told it might take 48 to 42 hrs
    I called again on April 10 and I was told the supervisor did not approve.
    I spoke to many and finally reached Ms.Brooke  who introduced herself as the top most supervisor in the building (Employee [removed],Kentucky call center)
    Personal information removed as required by the Verizon Wireless Terms of Service

    Hi JJKAY,
    The EXACT same thing took place for my wife. She used the WhatsApp to make calls and it ended up going to a number in Turkey. Verizon sent NO Alerts at all that this would be International charge OUTSIDE of our International calling plan.
    My wife made calls using the SAME app to Mexico and it went through without charges.
    We have also been customer for numerous years.
    I called Verizon to see how this occurred and got the technical folks, who first told me as they told you, they could change to the Global plan and then pay a reduced $/min. However, then the supervisor stepped in and would not approve.
    Verizon seems to think they have no responsibility to send ALERTS or allow for ALERTS when it goes well beyond the ordinary.
    Did you get Verizon to provide a credit as a customer?
    I would like to know, as I am about to switch and then make this a case of Verizon and show how much they care about customer retention. Thanks in advance.

  • International travel pass no connection and can't call support number

    Moved to International Roaming. Please click on link above to view the post.

    I'm wondering if it was working yesterday if there might be a local network issue impacting your service.Do you know what the message says, or do you have someone who could translate it for you? This might help figure out what the cause is.
    Crowd Support isn't a live support method unfortunately. So if you can't get through to Telstra on +61 4 39125109 or +61 2 9396 1193 then Live Chat is unfortunately the only way to get help 'straight away'.

    I have paid for international travel pack but it is not working. My phone will only go into SOS mode. It is a telstra problem. Not phone problem. The apple shop has narrowed it down to this as.

  • HT1807 Does a tigo international account work with iPhone 4S or do I have to use my US carriere's international option and pay for roaming?

    Does my iPhone 4S work with a tigo plan when traveling internationally or do I have to use my US carrier's international plan and pay roaming services?

    If your phone is carrier locked, you have no choice but to get International Provisioning activated for your account, if you want to use your phone outside of your carrier's network.

  • Misrepresentation of International Roaming Capabilities of GoPhone. Intentional?

    I filed the following fraud complaint today with the US Federal Trade Commission. (Text appears below my email signature.)
    I would perhaps not have filed the complaint if I did not go through the SAME process of research today, asking AT&T about the International Roaming capabilities of the GoPhone—as if I were intending to purchase the phone today. In actual fact, I made the purchase back in February….. six months ago. What I found today was that I was given the SAME mis-information as last time, leading me to believe that the phone could be used for International roaming.
    It’s hard to know for sure, but given that six months have passed since my initial purchase, it appears that AT&T is INTENTIONALLY misleading customers regarding the roaming capabilities of the GoPhone. It’s likely, if not certain, that you do provide the correct information elsewhere on your web site; however, you effectively hide this from the consumer. Unless they spend lots of time scouring your web site (which is not a reasonable expectation), or unless they know EXACTLY what questions to ask, they would not discover the GoPhone’s limitations prior to purchase.   (By the way:  Various references made on the web site referring to Canada and Mexico do not make sense unless and until you understand that these are the ONLY two countries where International Roaming applies.   Then, it all becomes clear...  but why would I even think that?    
    I have also discovered another consumer practice of yours which I consider to be deceptive. This one is not as serious, but it’s annoying nevertheless, and I hate to be made to feel like a fool: When I discovered 4 or so months ago that my MotoG GoPhone was locked, I applied online for an “unlock code”, and was turned down… learning only then that there was a six-month waiting period. I then contacted AT&T and spoke to a live representative to explain that I NEEDED the phone to be unlocked immediately. She took my information and cheerfully and confidently told me that I would be sent the requested “unlock information” within a few days. A few days later, what I actually received was another rejection, telling me that the phone had not yet been in use for six months. I thought there must have been some misunderstanding, as she seemed so confident I would be sent the unlock code…. so I (insanely) repeated the process, with the same EXACT outcome. (Same cheery, positive response with all the gratuitous “politeness”, followed by a rejection).
    Today, I went through the same exact request with a live agent, just to see what would happen, and she cheerily and confidently told me I would be sent my unlock code within a few days. There were no “Maybes”; no caveats. I don’t yet know for sure the results of today’s test, but frankly, I am expecting the same rejection…. because although it’s now been 6 months since I’ve owned the phone, I happen to have spent 6 weeks in Saudi Arabia, where the phone was useless to me. Thus, of the 6 months, it’s been in use with AT&T for only 4-1/2.
    I believe (although I cannot prove) that the live agent KNEW in advance that my application would be rejected, but rather than telling me that (and having to deal with potentially unpleasant consequences), she deceptively led me to believe my application would be accepted.
    I find this sort of consumer deception shameful. I have wasted HOURS of my valuable time trying to get truthful, accurate information from AT&T, and in the end, I had a phone that COULD NOT BE USED for the purpose for which I purchased it. What’s more, my strong feeling that AT&T should be held accountable for this deception led me to waste another 2 hours today filing a complaint with the FTC.
    This is all the more frustrating to me because before this all started, I had an older UNLOCKED Samsung GoPhone from AT&T that suddenly stopped working, and I had to purchase the Moto G as a replacement. Having had the Samsung, however, did me no good. I thought I did my “homework” before buying the Moto G, but you were able to pull the wool over my eyes. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. (That’s the little witticism that former President George W. Bush muffed during a press conference, except that in my case, I don’t think it’s funny at all, especially because you’ve been able to fool me REPEATEDLY.)
    I don’t know what will result from my FTC complaint, but I hope that one way or the other you will provide accurate, factual, and COMPLETE information to your customers, who deserve the truth, the WHOLE truth, and nothing but the truth.
    And you might also want to consider the effect of these sorts of shenanigans on customer loyalty. Let me give you a little hint: It’s not good. Please do not provide links to the correct information, as if this were a mistake on MY part. I did my best, and unfortunately, so did you.    
    Sincerely Yours, TRANSCRIPT OF AT&T Chat.  [Note: I replaced the Agent's name with "AT&T", because I do not feel it's their fault, and would not want them to be implicated.  Many times in such matters, it's the person low on the totem pole who gets the blame.  This strikes me as a "marketing strategy", which is done all the time in sales. ]   AT&T: Welcome to AT&T Chat. While we connect you to an agent, please share how we can help you today? Me: I have a question regarding Motorola Moto G GoPhone.... It says that it is Quad GSM bands "World Phone".

May I ask who I have the pleasure of chatting with? Me: My name is Jeffrey L AT&T: Jeffrey you will be able to use this device international Me: That's good.

Would you mind holding a moment as I do that? Me: I will wait. AT&T: It's a world phone which means anywhere in the world you will be able to use. You will need a international plan Me: How do I get an international plan? AT&T: Will this be for a GoPhone Account or a regular account? Me: Well... This is GoPhone we are discussing... so I suppose it would be a GoPhone account. I don't have a regular account. In any case, it would be for this specific MotoG phone.] AT&T: To see all of the GoPhone international options, please Click Here. AT&T: To get started, please click on the device of your choice and then click “Add to Cart”. I will guide you through the checkout process and will be here to answer any questions you may have. Me: No... I think that's enough information for right now. I will make the purchase later.

For further questions, please click the chat button located on the right side of the screen.

    My conscience is clear. My inquiries were made in good faith. I simply was not given full and complete information. Both the phone itself, as advertised for sale by AT&T, as well as the Go Phone service itself, promise the ability to use the phone internationally. If you think the fact that the phone works in Canada and Mexico satisfies this nuanced wording, that's just lame. The international dialing code for Canada is +1, for crying out loud.... same as the USA.
    I couldn't use the phone with another SIM, because it was locked,... Which it does not say, unless you go to the page for how to unlock the phone, which you'd never even know to do until you discover that it's locked. (DearCustomer, Ha-ha! Gotcha! --Fondly, Your Friends at AT&T).
    And what you said is simply FALSE! The page the Chat Agent referred me to led me to a description of international roaming for non-Go Phones, where it shows all the countries in the world where AT&T provides their overpriced roaming services. But you can't subscribe to these services with the Go Phone, which it does NOT say. This was NEVER made clear. (DearCustomer, Ha-ha! Gotcha again!).
    I appreciate when you get a brand new phone for free, or at substantially reduced price when signing a contract, this justifies the phone being locked. This is not the case for the Motorola Moto G. I could have bought an unlocked version cheaper at other sources. I ordered it from AT&T just for convenience, never suspecting it was locked.
    I approached this transaction in good faith, believing I was getting the information I needed, and believing I could use the phone internationally. The Go Phone and service may make a lot of sense for domestic customers, but touting it as providing international roaming is deceptive. I find it a bit difficult to believe you are defending this practice by blaming and attacking the victim (that is to say, me!).
    Well... Live and learn. In this case it was a costly lesson for me.

  • Do I have to activate international roaming for my iPhone 4S on the Verizon network?

    I have called Verizon to turn on Intl roaming and data.  Two questions:  with my Blackberry, I had to dial *228 to complete the activation.  Is anything like this necessary with the iPhone 4s?  Does anyone have tips/tricks for using iPhone overseas?

    Dialing *228 updates the Preferred Roaming List, that is, the list of cell towers the phone looks for. It's not a bad idea to do it once a month or so and it's a good idea to do it before you travel internationally. However, you're phone will still work even if you forget.
    Turn your data off when you're not using it. The 100 megs you get for $25 doesn't last very long.

  • International Roaming Charges, $4,500

    While in India on a business trip, ATT suspended use of my iphone - not for lack of payment, for excessive charges incurred using the phone. I paid the charges incurred my first week in India, $1,700 and they turned the phone on again. Another week in India and three days in UK and Spain I returned home to a call stating I owed another $2,800.
    I have the ATT's international plan and tried to use wifi for data but realistically, when you need to check email, you use what is available as often as needed.
    Short of never using the iPhone for business again, does anyone have a solution?

    The only way to keep your charges down is to turn off Data Roaming and only use WiFi while travelling. Data roaming is very expensive, even if you have a special plan for it. You have no idea how much data you are using at the time, unlike when making a phone call or sending SMS.
    For me it is not an issue. When I travel I purchase a local SIM and put it in my legally unlocked iPhone. Due to Australian regulations on the locking of phones I have this option. The USA does not have this option, legally.

  • How to avoid international roaming iphone

    Hey everyone,
    So I travelled to Colombia recently and in general, had my phone either turned off, or on airplane mode the entire trip. I only used it for one five minute phone call and to listen to music for about five hours accumulated. I was there for about 8 days.
    I was told to put the phone on airplane mode, so as to avoid any roaming charges, as my fellow travel companions (who all also owned iPhones), said "that way nothing comes through. No wi-fi, messages, nothing".
    So, yes, went with that advice.
    Get home, BAM! $255 phone bill.
    Now, I was obviously expecting a larger bill than normal, but I have all together $130 in roaming charges. How the eff did this happen?
    Excuse me if I'm just a dummy, but I have never owned an iPhone before and this was my first time outside of North America.
    I am going to Uruguay next week and obviously, don't want the same to happen.
    Any advice on how to avoid this again?
    Thanks in advance everyone!

    That's not surprising. AT&T's roaming charges are $2.89 per minute, and data is $19.95 per megabyte. Text messages are $0.50 each. If you turned on the cellular without turning off cellular data, then data could have been exchanged while you were using the phone to make a call. It should be itemized on your phone bill to see where the money went. They charge a flat fee for international roaming too.
    You don't need to use "airplane mode" however, to prevent the charges. "Airplane mode" disables the radios in the phone from operating entirely. However, you only get charged to for using cellular voice and data. You'll not be charged for using WiFi (at a cafe or hotel, for instance).
    The phone's settings section gives you some control over this. See Settings > General > Network and note the "Cellular Data" and "Data Roaming" options. Those should be set to "Off" when you travel.
