Using mobile phone abroad

Is roaming automatically included in the Sky SIM subscription? I will be going to the EU and USA and understood that roaming is included, but when I look on the Sky website, it only refers to roaming passport plus at £2 per day.

That is correct - £2 for 24 hours usage of your plan

Roaming is not included in your plan

I'm there with Roaming Passport Plus but can I use my own number?

Not sure what you're asking but your number doesn't change when roaming.

Hi I was asking exactly that thanks. My son is currently in Australia and has taken on an Australian number because it is cheaper, but I'm sticking with Sky. Best wishes.

Yup, taking a local SIM will have a different number (from that country).

Depends on your requirements as to whether it's paying the roaming charges (£2 per day) or getting a local SIM.

@MeMary

What country are you going to be travelling to as using your mobile is some can work out as being very expensive.
