Hi @howler1 It doesn't matter where you bought the phone, it's the sim that matters. If it's a sky sim you are using it will cost £2 for each 24 hours you use it, that will give access to your home allowance and piggyback. It's triggered by sending a text, making a call or using a small amount of data. If you don't want to trigger it then turn off mobile data and roaming in the Uk before you leave and just use local WiFi.

If someone has helped give them a thumbs up.

If their answer solved your issue mark it as the correct answer.

I won’t respond to direct messages so please post any problems on the forum.
