Roaming Passport Plus pass Activation

[zacandsophie]

Going abroad. Venice, Greece, Italy, Moninegro and Croatia. How do I add or activate Roaming Passport Plus pass? I have increased my allowance to £15. Can I use my phone as a hotspot?

The passport is activated as soon as you either use 10mb of mobile data, send a text message or make a phone call. 

As you have set a spending limit it needs to cover you stay.

Moninegro is a rest of the world country so you will see a significant charge for using your phone here as you are charged per MB (and not GB) at £2.16 per minute for calls to UK landlines and mobiles. Receiving a call will cost you £1.80 per minute.

You can use your phone as a hotspot.

Thank  you so much for your help and advise

What an absolute rip off!!

Northern Cypriot landlines are considerably cheaper than this and I would advise that you use a local phone when calling home, rather than paying Sky a ridiculous fee!.

Sky use the O2 Network, so I am amzed that they feel they can add these charges yet the Network they piggyback off, do not?

The OP posted back in August so unlikely to still be away but more importantly they didn't mention anything about going to Cyprus
