Roaming cost

Nags23 — Fri, 19 Jun 2026 16:11:17 GMT

I'm in France and we have our internet in our caravan. I expect to pay roaming charges daily. We have loads of data which we roll onto the sim as required. We contect out phones to the unit. I have checked our current bill and the caravan current bill is over £160 which I do not understand. I've never had this in previous years of travelling in France. Any help appreciated.

From sometime last year I believe data usage is restricted to 25GB per billing period before you pay per GB for what you use so this might be why you bill is that high.

There's a fair usage limit of 25GB. However, you should have be warned approaching this limit via text.,

However, I suspect such texts where sent to the 'unit' (MiFi box?) but you cannot see them and where subsequently charged...

Piggybank data is not exempt from this limit.

Remember that calls to local numbers are charged extra at international rates and there is a limit on data use of 25GB per billing period, after which Sky can charge you an extra £2.50 per GB or even suspend your useage duel to overuse.
