salou on o2
We are going to Spain on July. I basically hate spending extra above my basic contract on mobiles. My intention was just to stick phones on air plane mode and most probably just off while there.
However I did wonder if things had changed these days and maybe it doesn't cost a fortune to use it ??? |

O2 charge £1.99 for 15mb of data usage. |

So the odd text or short call isn't going to break the bank But lots of calls and data usage is where it can really start costing a lot. So yeh, wouldn't really use it unless you need to. Texts is cheap so I'd recommend that if you need to stay in contact. |

Yeah I'm more worried about all my apps that secretly connect using up roaming charges.
So if I just keep mobile data off I should be Ok. |

Yeah, those apps can be a pain, even if you switch off sync, so you have to switch off data completely. That said, all networks have to cap your data charges now so you can't go over 40 euros or so without specifically opting in.

Isn't this all going to change next year (or 2016 or something)?
I thought it was all going to change to the same prices as here then. I know that doesn't help you now but just checking I got that right? |
