Sky Mobile boosts roaming to 120 destinations for just £2 a day

With May half-term in full swing and the summer holidays around the corner, Sky Mobile is making it even easier to stay connected while travelling.

Sky has more than doubled its global roaming destinations from 55 to 120 across EU/EEA, the USA, Australia and more.

Sky’s Roaming Passport Plus is the straightforward way to roam. It lets customers use their UK data, calls and text allowances as if they were still in the UK while in one of the destinations for just £2 a day. Sky Mobile customers could pay just £10 for five days data roaming in destinations like the USA, Thailand, and India. That’s £20 cheaper than EE customers using EE’s Zone 1 Pass* or up to £30 cheaper than Vodafone customers using Vodafone’s monthly plan Global Roam or Zone D Passes.*

Getting online is easy, there’s nothing to install, download or set-up, customers can begin roaming as soon as they arrive.

From the sandy beaches of Barbados to the mountains of Peru, some of the new destinations included are**:

• India
• Egypt
• Singapore
• Barbados
• Jamaica
• Bahamas
• Morocco
• Peru
• Mauritius
• China
• Plus, many more**

Whether navigating the streets of a new city, streaming the latest blockbuster, or loading a boarding pass for the journey home, roaming with Sky Mobile doesn’t need any setup.

Customers can automatically access their UK data, calls, and text allowances as soon as they land. The £2 roaming activates when they use data (over 10MB in a day) or make a call or text to a UK number while in one of the destinations. For added ease, customers will get a text to confirm when their 24‑hour roaming period starts, and another when it’s coming to an end.

Sky Mobile’s flexible data plans make it easy for customers to use their data while abroad. If they need extra data for exploring without Wi-Fi, or for WhatsApp calls and messages, they can easily dip into any saved in their Sky Piggybank for a boost. With Roll, each month unused data is saved in a Sky Piggybank for up to a year, this data can then be used in any of the 120 roaming destinations with Roaming Passport Plus.
