Roaming with giffgaff

Using your phone abroad

Our plans can be used in the EU and selected destinations just like you use them at home and at no extra cost.*

If you opt to pay as you go and use credit instead, data, calls and texts will be charged at our pay as you go UK rates while you roam in the EU. Bring on the sunshine.

If you’re travelling outside the EU and selected destinations, check out our roaming costs below. You’ll have to add credit to your account to use your phone as normal. Happy travels.

*Our £20 and £25 goodybags do have a roaming cap, but only after you’ve used 20 GB. Please see our fair usage guidelines here.


Please note that in Northern parts of Cyprus, Turkish rates apply.

FAQs

Roaming is being able to use your phone outside the UK to make calls, receive texts and stay connected to your friends and family by sending and receiving data.
Yes. You can roam in the EU and selected destinations. This means that making calls, sending texts or receiving data will work just like they do in the UK. If you use up all your goodybag’s data while roaming, you’ll be charged our standard pay as you go rates. Well, unless you’re on our £20 or £25 Always On goodybags. They work slightly differently.

When it comes to the £25 Always On goodybag, after you use up 20 GB of full speed 4G data you’ll be charged 0.36p/MB (that's less than a penny per megabyte).

In the case of our £20 goodybag you get 80 GB of data in total, 20 GB of which can be used while roaming in the EU and selected destinations. If you use up your roaming allowance, you’ll then be charged 0.36p/MB (less than a penny). If you use up your UK allowance as well (so all 80 GB of that goodybag’s data) you’ll then be charged our standard pay as you go rates.

Special numbers and services (such as roaming charges, international calls, premium rate numbers and some 08 numbers) aren’t included in your goodybag. To use these you’ll need some credit, which you can add anytime here.

Just head to giffgaff.com/buy, it’s free to access no matter where in the world you are, even if you’ve run out of credit or your goodybag’s expired.
Roaming charges can build up. If you're worried, we recommend switching your phone to flight mode or turning off roaming when outside the EU and selected destinations. Manage roaming settings.
Just punch in *100# on your phone, and we’ll show you how much credit you have left. It’s free of charge.
