Does Asda Mobile have international roaming?
Yes, Asda Mobile offers international roaming.
This simply means you can use your phone abroad to make calls, send texts, and use mobile data, just like you would in the UK. However, rates vary by country.
Any data usage counts as data roaming, and you can be charged based on your monthly plan allowances or pay-as-you-go rates.

Asda Mobile charges and plans
Charges vary depending on your Asda Mobile plan type: SIM-only contract or pay-as-you-go.
Roaming charges for pay-monthly plans
If you’re on any of Asda Mobile’s SIM-only contracts (pay-monthly plans), you have a data roaming limit of up to 5GB (subject to your data plan allowance). If your data plan allowance is lower than 5 GB, then you will receive the standard allowance.
After using 5GB (or your total data allowance), you’ll have to pay standard rates to keep using data — 10p per MB, the same as in the UK. Asda Mobile will notify you once you’ve reached 80% and 100% of your data limit.
You can also buy a roaming add-on through your account to keep using data without paying standard rates.
| Data add-on | Price | Code |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GB | £2 | DATA2 |
| 3 GB | £5 | DATA5 |
| 6 GB | £7 | DATA7 |
| 12 GB | £10 | DATA10 |
Roaming charges for pay-as-you-go plans
If you’re on a pay-as-you-go plan, standard rates will apply if you use data roaming abroad.
Charges vary based on Asda Mobile’s four world groups: EU, USA/Canada/AUS/NZ, World Group 1, and World Group 2.
| World group | Data (per MB) | Receiving a call (per minute) | Calls to the UK (per minute) | Texts to the UK (per text) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EU | £0.10 | £0 | £0.15 | £0.10 |
| USA/Canada/AUS/NZ | £0.20 | £0.75 | £0.75 | £0.10 |
| World Group 1 | £1 | £1.40 | £1.40 | £0.20 |
| World Group 2 | £7.50 | £1.40 | £3 | £0.30 |
How to activate Asda Mobile data roaming
You’ll need to enable data roaming in your Asda Mobile online account. Once logged in, navigate to “My Profile” and find the data roaming option under “Features”.
You’ll need to activate data roaming on your mobile phone in settings, too. This is usually found under “Mobile Service”.
If you’re on a pay-monthly plan, once you arrive in the select 46 European countries, you can continue to use your data, call, and text allowances as you would at home.
For other countries, you can purchase a data add-on or be subject to standard rates.
