Overseas Mobile Phone

[Mike195]

Travelling to India how add overseas plan?

[caesarome]

There is no overseas plan so it is going to be quite expensive to use your phone in India as you can read about here:

It would be cheaper to get a sim when you arrive and use that.

£2 a day for overseas plan ?

Hi @Mike195  doesn't cover India, as advised look at the tariff to see costs in India. 

[Mike195]

International Plan is available for £3 a day does this cover India please?

[63johnw]

Hi @Mike195  that is for making reduced cost calls etc from the UK to the named countries. 

"International Saver
Adding International Saver for £3 per month will give you discounted charges on calls and texts from the UK and Roaming Passport Plus destinations to mobile and geographic landline numbers in over 60 destinations."

As already noted, it's not cheap - current tariff (Dec 2022):

Data is £2.16 per MB.  (Not GB!)

Making calls is £2.16 per minute.

Receiving calls is £1.80 per minute.

Texts are 50p each.

Check your spendcap too as those data rates will soon rack up.

I agree with first reply:  Get a pay as you go SIM when you get to India.

Alternatively get a cheap plan from Lebara  whilst still in the UK (approx £5 month, 1 month notice to cancel) and it allows roaming in India !!!!    Just bear in mind they have to post out the SIM with holiday coming up and royal mail strikes !!!!!
