Before you depart
You should read EE guidance on using your phone abroad before leaving the country, to avoid unnecessary charges.
Avoiding data roaming and additional charges
Please contact IT Purchasing before any trip so that we can set you up with EU data roaming and an appropriate tariff. Failure to do so will result in a significant cost which will be passed on to the user, in line with the mobile use guidelines. We also recommend you:
- turn off data roaming, via your mobile settings, and use Wi-Fi where possible
- read about data bundles and call charges and discuss them with us
We will need a minimum of 5 days to change your details with EE.
