02 Travel Bolt On - £6.00 daily (2024)

I am travelling to Turkey in September and it appears I should download 02 Travel Bolt On.

I am totally confused. When do I request/activate 02 Travel?. When I arrive in Turkey?

Do I turn off Data Roaming/Mobile Data/ Voice Mail ?

Do incoming phone calls/texts activate the £6.00 charge?

I am all in a tizzy...

Activation is automatic when you arrive.

Data roaming needs to be on.

Incoming texts are always free and so are incoming calls when using the bolt on.

You can activate it any time before you go. Mine is on permanently

The £6 is any day you are connected to the network. Calls in and out and anything sent to your answerphone.

If you are not wanting data turn data roaming off

Also turn off your answerphone

Best option is to put the phone into aeroplane mode and just turn wifi back on

This is not O2 and we are all customers here similar to yourself and cannot answer account type queries.

Many Thanks MI5.

So i don't need to text TRAVEL to 23336, just opt in when prompted on arrival in Turkey?

You can do either,, but might be safer to do it at home so you know it will be there when needed,

Do take care - the opt-in text will be chargeable when you land in Turkïye, if that is how you propose to add O2 Travel, @Bronzen - and it can take 24hrs to activate.

How do I get O2 Travel?

If you’re on Pay Monthly but don’t have the O2 Travel Inclusive Zone Bolt On, you can add the O2 Travel Bolt On. Before you set off,sign in toMy O2to check if you have it.

Get the O2 Travel Bolt On by texting TRAVEL to 23336, or add it in My O2.

I will keep Data Roaming ON

Turn off Mobile Data - will use hotel wi-fi.

Is turning off 02 Voice Mail advisable?

Sorry about the silly queries, but I really am a dinosaur re- Mobiles etc.

It will activate automatically when your phone registers on a foreign network.

Data roaming needs to be off as well as mobile data unless you wish to use mobile data.
