All the info I need is on the roaming support page for the destination I am going to. Great idea to have roaming passes to save money on the daily roaming charge. Looking forward to roaming like home this summer.

I am also in Greece at the end of May and have been doing the exact same, easy enough to find information online to set up go roam. Have been with 3 for about 12 years now so would be great to win something 🤞🏻

Used to have the free 200mb data sim PAYG , which has stopped without notice, so to win this pass, would be great to receive - hopefully it has no expire date

Going to Spain with children and grandchildren so roaming would be so useful. Found the list of countries very helpful and the days you can purchase. Would be nice to be able to pre-book it?

Roaming should be free to all customers. It's just another way to make more money.

Hi @Doviedove,

Good luck for the prize draw. Great news, you can pre-book. If you add a Go Roam pass add on in My3, then it'll stay on your account, and only activate when you use your allowances on a Roaming network.

Thanks,
Jonathan

Hi @shawny,

Please let us know a little about your experience of getting ready to roam to take part in this draw. For example, we've included a link to our roaming support page in the post explaining the giveaway. Do you find this info helpful, or is there anything you think it doesn't cover?

In terms of the passes that we're giving away, they would remain on your account till you activate them by using your allowances abroad. So don't worry they won't expire.

Thanks,
Jonathan

Visiting many countries in the Mediterranean this summer, Spain , Italy, France, Balerics, all are included within the roaming countries.

Always check in advance what's required and what's available to determine what is best value.

Easy to set up . But text messages could be clearer when you arrive abroad. Took me a while to work out what I needed to do

Only getting used to this

I thought the information on the website was quite clear about Go Roam destinations and I never had an issue activating my allowance in them. However, when I tried to buy a data passport for using in a destination that was outside the network of Go Roam, it became confusing, as it told me to expect an email with a confirmation, which never arrived. I just had to assume that the data passport was purchased and activated (which luckily was the case).
