Roaming Passport Plus pass Activation

zacandsophie — Sun, 11 Aug 2024 12:13:40 GMT

Going abroad. Venice, Greece, Italy, Moninegro and Croatia. How do I add or activate Roaming Passport Plus pass? I have increased my allowance to £15. Can I use my phone as a hotspot?

The passport is activated as soon as you either use 10mb of mobile data, send a text message or make a phone call.

As you have set a spending limit it needs to cover you stay.

Moninegro is a rest of the world country so you will see a significant charge for using your phone here as you are charged per MB (and not GB) at £2.16 per minute for calls to UK landlines and mobiles. Receiving a call will cost you £1.80 per minute.

You can use your phone as a hotspot.

What an absolute rip off!!

Northern Cypriot landlines are considerably cheaper than this and I would advise that you use a local phone when calling home, rather than paying Sky a ridiculous fee!.

Sky use the O2 Network, so I am amzed that they feel they can add these charges yet the Network they piggyback off, do not?

@Gareth+Owen+75

The OP posted back in August so unlikely to still be away but more importantly they didn't mention anything about going to Cyprus
