Introducing Go Roam Around the World Extra

[JonathanB]

Hi everyone,

Great news! We’ve added 92 new destinations to Go Roam – with over 160 in total - from beautiful Thailand to vibrant Mexico. 

And with Go Roam Around the World Extra, you can explore while accessing your plan’s data, minutes, and texts with our inclusive daily roaming passes.*

No inclusive passes? No problem. When visiting a Go Roam Around the World Extra destination, you can unlock your plan’s data, minutes, and texts for £7 for 24hrs* or buy a 3, 7, or 14 day Go Roam Around the World Extra Pass before you travel for even better savings. You can check the rates for any roaming destination before you travel on our Roaming Support page. And if it’s time to renew your plan, why not take advantage of our Value and Complete plans which are bundled with up to 56 days of inclusive Roaming passes, as well as other perks such as Paramount+, extended warranty, free screen repairs and more!

We hope that adding more destinations than ever before to Go Roam is a welcome change. Please let us know in your replies what you think of this new expansion to our Go Roam services, and where you’ll be off to this summer? Read more on the Three blog.

Hello.

Turkey is now a Go Roam Extra Destination. This allows you to use part of your allowances, but it's not free. It would be £7 per day to unlick access to your allowances while in Turkey.

So we're no better off than last year when a data passport was available and it wasn't £7 

[PeteG]

Data Passport is still available at £5 per month, but it only gives access to Data. The Go Roam Extra Pass unlocks access to calls and texts as well.

What is the status of receiving calls without a passport?  I use local esims from various providers as they are cheaper than Three's roaming charges and are not restricted to 12G.

Can we receive calls without cost?

Thank you

You can receive incoming calls without charge in Go Roam destinations.

The daily charge is only levied if you make a call, send a text or use data.

[tarantella]

As far as I know all incoming calls are free in Go Roam destinations. 

[JonathanB]

That's right, receiving a call is free in Go Roam destinations, so this won't trigger the daily charge or use a pass.

Destinations outside the three tiers of Go Roam do have charges for receiving calls though, so it's always a good idea to check the Roaming Support page I linked in the main article.

Thanks,
Jonathan

By far the best thing to do outside free roaming areas is turn off your roaming or leave it in aircraft mode. You never know when some marketing spam caller will try to call you from a random call list.

I think I will need to purchase a 7-day go Roam ATW Extra pass for travelling to Turkey, do I purchase before I go and is it then activated automatically upon entering the country? Thanks

[JonathanB]

Hi @JD21,

You can either pay the £7 per day, or buy the add on from My3 or the Three App in advance. If you choose the 7 day add on, this will start the first day that you use your allowances from a valid destination. I.e if you call or text home to the UK from Turkey, or use some data there.

Hope this helps, let me know if you need any more info.

Thanks,
Jonathan
