What is roaming?
Roaming is when Equipment is used outside of the UK. For example, when you travel to a foreign country with your mobile phone. Your plan.com tariff does not include use of your service(s) outside of the plan.com Europe Zone (“EZ”). Therefore, using Equipment outside of the UK or EZ means that you may incur additional charges, other than those described as part of your tariff, while using your service.
Equipment is ’being used’ while abroad when one or more of the following events take place:
- Data is accessed by your device. This may happen as soon as a device (“Equipment”) connects with a foreign network provider. plan.com will charge you a fixed standard per MB rate for this data usage without an applicable roaming data Bolt-On. To prevent this, either mobile data must be turned off, roaming data must be turned off, the Equipment must be in Flight Mode and/or the Equipment must be turned off. PLEASE NOTE: Data can be accessed by your Equipment as soon as it is turned on, or Data access is enabled having been previously disabled. Data is not limited to specific apps being opened e.g., Facebook, an internet browser or Spotify. Background tasks often access data on your Equipment without your specific interaction. Therefore, your Equipment may be sending or receiving data simply by being turned on.
- A call is made or received. In order to make or receive a call, your Equipment will automatically attempt to connect to a foreign network provider. The third-party will fulfil this call request. You can prevent calls from being received while abroad by keeping your Equipment in Flight Mode, or asking for an incoming call bar to be applied. plan.com will charge you a fixed standard per minute rate for this usage (see pricing) unless the usage is bundled with a roaming voice Bolt-On.
- A text message is sent. As above, this Service will be fulfilled by a foreign network provider and plan.com will charge you a fixed rate per text (see our pricing guide) unless the usage is bundled with a roaming SMS Bolt-On. Multimedia Messages (MMS) are not covered by roaming Bolt-Ons or Add-Ons and are prices accordingly.
Our Daily and Monthly Roaming Bolt-Ons and Add-Ons are a range of products designed to support those Customers who want to use their services while roaming while staying in control of their costs.
Activation
Only one Global Minutes Bolt-On can be active at any one time. For a new Global Minutes Bolt-On to be applied, the existing product must first be deactivated, even if its allowances have been exhausted. This can take up to 24 hours to process. Any residual allowance associated with the original Bolt-On will remain available during that processing period and for the rest of the month. For example:
- A Global Minutes 100 Bolt-On is active on a Connection
- The Global Minutes 100 Bolt-On is removed and a Global Minutes 200 Bolt-On is applied in its place
- On the day of the removal, the Connection can still use the remainder of the original 100-minute allowance
- Once replaced by the 200-minute allowance, up to 300 Global Minutes is available for the remainder of the calendar month
Charges
Allowances and Charges quoted are all on a per Connection/per SIM basis. All Charges in this Tariff Guide are exclusive of VAT.
Additional charges (out of bundle charges)
If you exceed your Bolt-On allowance, you will pay our standard out of bundle roaming call rates. The reporting of call usage can be subject to delay. Data reporting is controlled by the network on which data is being used.
A Customer will incur Additional Charges where data usage within a day/month/billing period exceeds both (i) the relevant allowance included within the Inclusive Allowance of the Customer’s Tariff and (ii) the additional allowance provided by any Bolt-On or Data Boost that has been applied.
Additional Charges will be incurred at the rates set out in our ‘Tariff Guide – Additional Charges’. More information can be found in our Pricing Guide – Additional Charges.
Martime, satellite, and airborne networks.
Maritime, satellite and airborne networks are not included in any plan.com tariff or Bolt-On allowances, even though they may be based in one of our roaming zones. plan.com cannot be held responsible for Equipment accessing these networks and is not liable for any additional charges that are incurred from Equipment using these networks, even if accidental. Please take extra care when travelling off-land or within areas not covered by mobile operators. We suggest putting your device into flight-safe mode in these situations or turning off roaming data on your device.
When it comes to data usage, this can be up to £6 per MB. This is also true of maritime, satellite and airborne networks. plan.com is not able to control which network your Equipment connects to. For this reason, we are not liable for any additional charges that are incurred.
