Using my phone while in Serbia

Trud78 — Sat, 24 Aug 2024 08:21:15 GMT

We are travelling to Serbia next month and need to know if we can use our mobiles without being charged more than the £2 a day. We are travelling for a European Championship so will be in contact with family regularly (unlike if we were going on holiday)

Hi @Trud78 Serbia is not covered by the £2 daily charge, it's a rest of the world destination and will be very expensive if you use your phone there. If it was me I would turn roaming and mobile data off before leaving the UK. Also enable flight mode then just use local free WiFi when available in Serbia.

@Trud78

Serbia is not in the EU (it's a candidate for membership) and so doesn't come within the Sky £2 roaming coverage which is almost entirely EU nations only.

Thank you for your replies

When we arrived in Serbia there was a stall at the airport where I could buy a 15GB sim which I put in my phone and it meant I could call and family and friends could call me. My daughter has an iPhone so could use the sky sim

Wouldnt have worried so much if we were on holiday but we were there for GB European Championships so needed to keep family and friends update
