Mobile operator O2 (Virgin Media) has announced that, in order to support England’s place in the FIFA World Cup 2026 football finals, they’ve extended their inclusive roaming benefit for eligible pay monthly customers travelling to the USA to include pay monthly Classic Plan customers. But only for a limited time, naturally.
The offer means that pay monthly Classic Plan customers can now roam freely in the USA until midnight on 20th July (PT) alongside Volt customers or those with a Plus Plan or Ultimate Plan, potentially saving them £7 per day for the cost of a travel bolt-on. Just remember that a fair usage limit applies to mobile broadband usage of 25GB (GigaBytes) for data.
Classic Plan users will, however, first need to log into their MyO2 account and activate the O2 Travel Bolt On (£7 per day) or buy a data bolt-on (1GB, 3GB or 5GB), and O2 will then automatically credit back the cost of the bolt on from 6th July – 20th July 2026.
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.”
