It's not so much Virgin limit the number of countries you can roam in, but two completely different forms of roaming, I'm sure the huge profits they make from PAYT roaming they'd love you to be able to PAYT roam everywhere Full roaming on Virgin with DD added is the only practical way to roam All PAYT roaming is an expensive toy Steve Terry > Which UK operators allow PAYG/PAYT subscribers to make > out-of-the-country roaming calls without any special actions (such as > tying the account to be auto-debited through a bank/credit card?) > - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Thay all do i think http://www.poms.co.uk/austsraliansimcard.htm >> Which UK operators allow PAYG/PAYT subscribers to make >> out-of-the-country roaming calls without any special actions (such as >> tying the account to be auto-debited through a bank/credit card?) >> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - > >Thay all do i think I think isn't all that reassuring :) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - > >> Which UK operators allow PAYG/PAYT subscribers to make > >> out-of-the-country roaming calls without any special actions (such as [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Well Joseph, why don't you look at each operators website to see if they support PAYG roaming without a DD. Everyone has tried to help you and give you guidance, but all you can do is to say "I think isn't very reassuring". THe only operators that need a DD are Fresh and Virgin. Orange, T-Mobile, Vodaphone and O2, i.e. all the main operators) are OK. S >Everyone has tried to help you and give >you guidance, but all you can do is to say "I think isn't very reassuring". Joe is a troll. You will never satisfy him.

That last statement needs some qualification; in the first place, PAYG roaming isn't as extensive as on contract. For example, Orange don't have roaming agreements with any of the US carriers for PAYG but they do on contract. So your PAYG phone may not work in places where a contract phone on the same network would. It is also usually more expensive where it is available. Personally, I wouldn't roam on PAYG, I'd go for a local SIM card, it usually works out cheaper, well it does for me anyway. Ivor > [snip] > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Ivor But the OP asked what operator allowed PAYG roaming without using a direct debit. He wasn't asking about any country in particular. His statement to pocket.me.uk saying "I think isn't very reassuring" was slightly rude. If he had any reservations, he could always use each operators website and look for himself.

Orange, T-Mobile, >Vodaphone and O2, i.e. all the main operators) are OK. I would but my past experience it has not been easy to find such information without much study of each website. I came here to u.t.m. with the hope that I could get quick and dirty information on which did. Evidently from what has been written all the main operators with the exception of Fresh and VM don't require direct debit. Another question I do have though is do all the UK operators that do offer international roaming with PAYT/PAYG do any of them use CAMEL outside of Europe or do they all roam with callback schemes outside of Europe? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - >>> Which UK operators allow PAYG/PAYT subscribers to make >>> out-of-the-country roaming calls without any special actions (such as [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >I think isn't all that reassuring :) Perhaps I've misunderstood something here, but I've made calls on PAYG/PAYT SIMs when on the Continent without any such arrangement. My understanding has been that when your call credit expires you won't be able to make any more calls. |
