Inclusive European Roaming services are intended for use during periodic travel and not for customers roaming across foreign networks on a semi-permanent or permanent basis.
If customers use their mobile in the inclusive European roaming zone for more than 50% of the time in any 4 month rolling period, they will receive a text requesting more moderate use of our roaming services.
If customers’ usage in the inclusive European roaming zones continues to exceed 50% as described above, over the 2-week period following the first notification, customers may be charged for further use or we may bar them from using our roaming services. Customers will be notified before we do this.
Please note that all existing contracts remain unchanged.

If you leave the university the phone and contract will be transferred to another member of staff in your school/department.
You can order phones through your School office or business unit.
