Voxi 45GB plan

[sallylillian]

Has anyone got experience of this plan. We use a sim in our Netgear router purely for data most of which is streaming. It seems this 45GB deal gives you Netflix et al outside of this limit and whilst roaming. So for our profile it is a good deal. I have been unable to find a reference to the current Vodafone 62 day roaming restriction which is due to hit in January.

OK found it!!!
If you have a Video Pass, you can use your pass in our Europe Zone with a fair use policy of 5GB per month. If you exceed the fair usage policy, any data usage which would have been covered by your Pass will come from your inclusive data allowance instead, which you can use free of charge in our Europe Zone.

I'm using it at the moment though it was on offer when I took it out in May at 60gb. I haven't got the video pass but we've been abroad since the middle of August and haven't been contacted regarding being out of the UK more than 60 days (unlike Giffgaff which I cancelled). You can use the whole amount abroad as you say and coverage has been good in most places

My wife has a Vodafone contract with 100Gb data - not unlimited. She's just had an email from them that from 18 January their fair use policy on roaming is changing.
If you use phone for longer than 62 days in any 4 months period, and use more heavily than when in the UK, they will issue 14 days warning, after which hefty surcharges apply (eg £3.13 per Gb.)
Not necessarily a great problem as such - with the 90 days in 180 limit, we probably won't be able to spend much more than 62+14 days at a time, and it appears that it only counts days when phone actually used, so a few days on eg site wifi only would eke it out. But it feels like the thin end of a wedge - care to bet that by this time next year the 62 days won't have been reduced to 31??

Looks like the VOXI plan has similar restrictions to Vodafone unfortunately.

If you use our services outside of the UK for more than 50% of a rolling 4 month period we will send you a text requesting that you moderate your use of our services. If your use of our services outside the UK continues to exceed 50% of your total usage in the two weeks following such a request this usage will fall outside our Acceptable Use Policy and we will impose further charges on your account or reserve the right to disconnect or restrict your service.

Be aware with Vodafone/ Voxi you are not allowed to roam on to any network in Spain, you must use Vodafone es all others are forbidden.
My two phones are sat here useless, I am currently connected to a Superdrug sim as it uses 3 network and movistar in Spain.

I to have this email and hence my search. Its not so much the 62 days, but the 4 month comparison with the UK usage. I have a SIM in the router on the van which gets used very little when we are in the UK, just some updates for the tablet and access for the Victron VRM. Even the iNet box has its own SIM. Both my wife and I have our own phones with a SIM each, Vodafone. So on the face of it I will have to get my router on the van downloading 70gb of data every month whilst in the UK. So I might set up a pointless loop from my home network.

I must admit my reading of it was that the comparison with uk usage only kicked in if you exceeded the 62 days. From memory it says if “>62 days” and “more than uk usage”, not or. Hope I’m right on that .

Thanks you are right.

So how to get around it. For example what's a good deal on a data package in another EU country that gives you roaming in the EU without all this, that as a UK citizen we could buy/contract. I cannot keep faffing with a different Sim as I move from country to country.

Portuguese PAYG sims are brilliant value - we’ve used MEO and Nos in the past, think they work out at about €1 a day for unlimited data? Not sure how well they support roaming tbh - they’re still covered by EU regs so they should, but might throttle you down to 3G or worse. And my recollection is that if you’re not in Portugal so would depend on online top-ups rather than just buying a new sim, the cost of this is higher - may be wrong on this though, I’ve never done it.
