Failure to enter the correct unlocking code may result in your device becoming permanently blocked.
4.2 We will provide you with roaming services in the EEA in accordance with applicable legislation.

In accordance with EU Roaming Regulations whilst roaming (both within and outside of the EU) you may be capped from exceeding the current data roaming spend limit which is £45 (excluding VAT) per month. If you want to have your data roaming spend limit uncapped, then you should visit iD Mobile’s website for methods of contact – www.idmobile.co.uk/contactus. Please note: the EU Roaming Regulations do not apply to iD Mobile, but we have decided to continue to offer you the benefits that they provide anyway.

Appendix 1: Fair Use Policy
This Fair Use Policy applies to your use of our Services when you roam in the EEA. You can use your phone in Europe as you do at home, but your data roaming data allowance may be less than your home allowance and additional charges may be incurred if you exceed that allowance.
1. Definitions
"EU Law" means the Regulation 531/2012 of 13 June 2012 on roaming on public mobile communications networks within the Union (as amended) and any other applicable law or regulation.
"EU Roaming Data Allowance" or "RDA" means the amount of data provided under your Tariff, except where otherwise provided for in this Fair Use Policy.
"EU Roaming Price" means the price set under your Tariff, except where otherwise provided for in this Fair Use Policy. The "EU Roaming Price" includes use towards your monthly inclusive allowance (in the case of Eligible Calls) or use of Credit.
"EU Roaming Use" means your use of Services in any of the 27 EU countries (other than the UK) as well as Lichtenstein, Norway, Iceland and the following Outermost Regions: Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique, Mayotte, Réunion and Saint Martin, the Canary Islands, the Azores and Madeira.
"List of Charges" means the list detailing all our Charges (including call Charges) which is available on our website, www.idmobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/list-of-charges;
"Surcharge" means an additional charge we may levy if your EU Roaming Use exceeds the limit permitted by this Fair Use Policy, but excludes our out of bundle rates which you can view on our Website.1
The definitions used in clause 1 of the Post Pay, Pay as you go and All In One terms and conditions on our Website2 apply to this Fair Use Policy.
2. Whom this applies to
This Fair Use Policy applies to Pay as you go and Post Pay customers but not iD TakeAway customers.3
3. Voice and SMSWhen making EU Roaming Use of our Services, phone calls and SMS will be charged at the Roaming Price.
4. Data
If you are a Pay as you go customer making EU Roaming Use of data, you will be permitted to use your purchased bundle allowance. Above this allowance, you will be charged the standard domestic out of bundle rate. There are no roaming surcharges in these circumstances for Pay as you go customers.
If you are a Pay Monthly customer, your EU Roaming Data Allowance may be restricted. This may be a lower amount than your bundle allows you to use at home. We will notify you of this cap by SMS, email or in your browser when you first connect to the internet via EU Roaming Use.
5. When surcharges may apply to data, voice and SMS services
If your EU Roaming Use exceeds the EU Roaming Data Allowance (RDA) we may apply a Surcharge for data used beyond the RDA, as set out in the List of Charges, up to the amount your inclusive allowance under your Tariff. Use beyond your inclusive allowance will be charged under your Tariff. (You can still buy an Additional Service or use your Data Cushion if you have one). When you reach 80% of your RDA, we will notify you by text message. We will notify you again when you reach 100%.
In respect of voice and SMS services, we may apply a Surcharge if we think you are roaming permanently, regardless of any allowance under your Tariff. How we will monitor your EU Roaming Use of data, voice and SMS services
Permanent roaming is a breach of this Fair Use Policy. If, over a four-month period: (1) your EU Roaming Use of our Services exceeds your use of our Services at home; or (2) use of our Services includes a long period of inactivity, and use mostly, if not exclusively while roaming, we may think you are roaming permanently. We will determine this based on the days your SIM card is registered in the location register, and other technical means at our disposal. We may also observe your Data, SMS and phone call patterns to determine how long you are abroad for.
We may also consider your EU Roaming Use breaches this Fair Use Policy if your SIM card is only active when you are making EU Roaming Use of our Services, or if you if buy more than one SIM from us when roaming. We may also immediately restrict your services if you are reselling our SIM cards to be used by non-UK residents. We may also require you to prove you are a permanent UK resident or that you otherwise have stable links with the UK. To prove this, you may submit a utility bill, bank statement, driving licence, enrolment on full-time academic course or another document. In either case, we reserve the right to discontinue providing roaming services or apply a Surcharge if you cannot provide the required proof.
6. How we will contact you if you breach the Fair Use Policy
Step 1

Step 2
If after two weeks from our first warning, you continue to use our Services in a way that breaches this Fair Use Policy then we may apply a Surcharge (see List of Charges) for each additional megabyte used, second of phone call made or SMS sent.
7. We will cease to apply a Surcharge as soon as our data usage and presence monitoring no longer indicates a risk of abuse or anomalous usage. In the absence of a change we may apply a Surcharge for any future EU Roaming Use of our Services.7. We will cease to apply a Surcharge as soon as our data usage and presence monitoring no longer indicates a risk of abuse or anomalous usage.
