IQ Go have introduced a fair useage policy limiting eu data (35 Viewers)

[379inca]

Went to top up my IQ Go sim today with 100 gb of data for £20.00 to discover as of 20th September (yesterday) they have changed the conditions to a fair useage policy. 100gb in uk and only 25gb in Europe. Up until today I had had no notification of this. Am I doing something wrong or have any of you come across this. I find this a little frustrating as they were keen enough to take my annual subscription a few weeks ago.
Looks like I shall be buying a local data sim.

Dont Smarty use 3 as the carrier? In my experience the UK coverage speeds is way lower than the other providers. Not tried them in the EU though.

Yes your right I have just moved to Smarty and will be cancelling the speeds over the last 3 weeks have been terrible compared to EE even though 3 assure me we have excellent signal in our area. I will probably go 1p mobile who use EE £18 for 200gb data only for 30 days.

Likewise, thanks to 379inca for flagging.
IQ Go 100Gb add-on just bought for activation on 30 Sept. Should see me through October in EU at least and I'll shop around nearer the time.

Just tried purchasing another 100gb bundle starting on 30/09 and the IQgo site is only offering 25GB for EU now.
They did say yesterday on whatsapp they would give the full 100GB if ordered before 30/09. I have messaged them for clarity, but it looks like we may have missed the boat.

Are these data only sims, please?

200 GB of data, unlimited calls to mobiles and landlines within Spain and 1000 texts to other DIGI mobiles (as I understand from Google translate).

Works in Spain and, bizarrely, Romania. Unfortunately not Portugal where I’ll be heading after Spain. But €16 for 200 GB sounds good value.

Lizbie, is it a monthly contact or do you have to sign up for 22 months please?

I don't think so but I don't speak Spanish and rely on Google translate.

This was in their FAQ's: "You can enjoy any of our mobile phone products for as long as you want, without any commitment of permanence."

But maybe it isn't Pay and Go and a contract is necessary although I'd heard you only need to have some ID (like a passport) to buy one.

Sounds like we just made the renewal , just renewed the
100gb on Thursday, hopefully that plus our phone data allowance will see us through.

It is a phone sim, If you choose the combo option it also includes international minutes. You can roam, the 200 GB SIM allows 20 gb roaming.
