Can I use more than £45 of data when I’m in Greece ?

[SHEILA767]

Hi if I go on holiday for a month to Greece, can I use more than the £45 roaming spend cap ? Because if the hotels wifi goes down I will may need to use a more data than the default £45 roaming thing.  So can I use my phone for data for say £100 extra of roaming? Thanks people. Dumb blonde here and I can't find the answer

Yes, you can increase (or remove) your spend cap.

But only an issue if you're going for more than 22 days?

Hi I will be going to Greece for 28 days xx

Thanks for the info 22 days is the limit ? I'm going for 28 days, I'm worried in case the hotels WiFi dies again, it did 2 years ago when I was with Vodafone but I was allowed to go over £££ my bill was £160 when in Greece for 2 weeks. But I'm going for 28 days next month.

No, the limit isn't 22 days - it just is if you have a £45 default spend cap...  (22 x £2 = £44)

You can raise (or remove) the limit as I noted.

Thanks so much for the reply. I have unlimited data plan uk, so can I pay 28 days at £2 a day and use my unlimited data plan in those 28 days ? ( so my bill will have just £56 pounds extra on it ? ) silky me ....  ?  , as when I was with voda they only allow people to use 25 GB out of their unlimited data plan in Europe, that's why my voda bill was £150 on my 2022 Greek 3 week holiday

Yup, many other networks have roaming included but limit the data (and then is expensive over that limit).

There should be no more to pay than the £2 per 24 hours to access your UK plan.
