Do you offer International Roaming?


International roaming allows you to use your Meaningful Planet mobile service when traveling abroad. With our roaming options and packages, you can stay connected with friends, family, and work, even when you're outside of the UK.


Meaningful Planet offers a range of international roaming options to suit different needs and budgets.


Roaming in the EU and EEA (Zone 1)


If you travel within the EU, EEA, or Switzerland, your plan includes a monthly roaming allowance. You can use up to 25% of your monthly UK data allowance while roaming, up to a maximum of 25GB per month for unlimited plans.


You will receive alerts when you reach 80% and 100% of your allowance.


Once your monthly allowance is used, we'll block your access to data to help protect you against expensive out-of-bundle rates - but you can unlock more data at any time by upgrading your plan in-month through your online account.


Your data allowance will reset on the first day of each calendar month.


Calls and texts are charged at a flat rate as follows:


  • Calls: £0.0396 per minute
  • SMS: £0.0160 per message


Roaming in the EU and EEA is enabled by default.


Roaming outside the EU and EEA (Zones 2 to 6)


To protect customers from high roaming charges, roaming in Zones 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 is turned off by default. This means you cannot use mobile data, calls or SMS in these destinations unless you take one of the following steps:


  1. Contact our support team to buy a Daily Roaming Pass
  2. Purchase a Meaningful Planet travel eSIM (coming soon)
  3. Ask our support team to enable roaming on your account


This approach ensures that you do not accidentally incur high charges. To request roaming activation, contact [email protected] or use the in-app support function.


Daily Roaming Passes


Daily Roaming Pass for Zones 2 and 3

  • Includes 100 minutes, 100 SMS and 500 MB
  • Price: £5.00 per day per subscriber


Daily Roaming Pass for Zones 4 and 5
