Re: Free Roaming?
Have you been a customer of Sky for 15 years or more as this is what is required for the Diamond level. Silver is up to 3 years.

Re: Free Roaming?
Likewise - I went to Tenerife in March this year and was charged on two phones for the passport (£2/24 hrs) and yet I am a VIP member of 21 years standing! I am planning a trip to Africa and I am trying to get SKY to confirm it will be FREE this time and I hope they will reimburse me the charges leveied earlier this year.

Re: Free Roaming?
The free roaming in certain countries for Diamond VIP members was not in place in March.
Edit: it started on 20 July 2026.
Additional,y a lot of the countries in Africa are Rest Of The World destinations so is irrelevant as not covered by the Diamond VIP offer.

Re: Free Roaming?
Thanks - I finally caught up with the SKY correspondance which as you say is only effective from 20/7/26 so my earlier trip is not covered. My upcoming trip is South Africa which is listed as covered so I don't expect to see any passport charges - we'll see.......

Re: Free Roaming?
The only charges you might see is if you make a call to a local number as they are charged at international rates and if you use more than 25GB in data as it is then charged at £2.50 per GB.
