O2 has confirmed that England fans travelling to the United States to support Thomas Tuchel's team in the World Cup semi-final against Argentina will receive free roaming until the end of the tournament. Eligible customers on a pay monthly Classic Plan can have the £7-per-day O2 Travel Bolt On or data bolt-ons automatically credited back.
How to Claim the Roaming Credit
Customers simply need to log into their MyO2 account and activate the O2 Travel Bolt On (£7 per day) or purchase a data bolt-on (1GB, 3GB, or 5GB). O2 will then automatically refund the cost. This offer is valid until midnight on July 20, enabling fans to stay connected and share their holiday highlights with friends and family back home.
CEO Statement on the Initiative
Lutz Schüler, CEO of Virgin Media O2, said: "Whether travelling in Europe or heading across the Pond, we’re now giving our customers one less thing to worry about this summer by crediting back roaming charges in the USA for the remainder of the tournament. From cheering their team on from the stands or sharing the excitement with friends and family back home, our customers can focus on the scoreline, not roaming charges, with the freedom, connectivity and confidence to make every moment count."
Additional Benefits for Fans at Home
Fans supporting from home can also enjoy a free hot drink from Greggs through Priority from O2. Available the morning after England matches, the offer helps supporters recover from late nights and early mornings spent following the action from different time zones. Customers can redeem their free hot drink in Greggs stores nationwide from 8am until 11am via the Priority app.
O2 is the only major UK network to offer its customers inclusive EU roaming as standard and at no extra cost, up to 25GB.
