How to Enable ASDA Mobile Data Roaming

Nearly every phone has roaming switched off out of the box — it's an anti-bill-shock measure, not a fault, so you'll need to turn it on yourself before you fly.

Android (Samsung, Pixel, and others)

  1. Go to Settings › Connections (Samsung) or Network & internet (Pixel) › Mobile Networks.
  2. Switch Data Roaming to ON and confirm the charges warning that appears.
  3. Once you land, restart the phone or toggle Aeroplane Mode for 30 seconds to pick up a local partner network.
  4. Open a website or app to confirm data is actually working before relying on it.

iPhone

  1. Go to Settings › Cellular (or Mobile Data) › Cellular Data Options.
  2. Switch Data Roaming ON.
  3. After landing, toggle Aeroplane Mode on then off to pick up a local network.
⚠ Turn this on before you leave the UK — some phones won't let you change roaming settings once you've lost UK signal.

Roaming APN Settings — ASDA Mobile

ASDA Mobile uses the same APN for both UK data and international roaming: everywhere. You do not need to create a separate roaming APN. If mobile data stops working after arriving abroad, verify the APN is still set correctly and has not been overwritten by a local carrier profile.

EU Roaming Policy — ASDA Mobile

Limited — ASDA Mobile roaming terms vary; check the ASDA Mobile website.

⚠ Post-Brexit reminder: UK mobile operators are not legally required to offer EU roaming as part of standard plans. Roaming policies vary by plan and carrier. Always check your specific plan's roaming terms in the ASDA account online or carrier website before travelling to avoid unexpected charges.

Checking your My ASDA Mobile roaming terms before you fly

An old plan leaflet or your memory of the terms isn't reliable — roaming terms get updated. Open My ASDA Mobile, find your plan or account section, and look specifically for "Roaming", "Travel" or "International" — the exact wording varies by app version. Note the destination list and whether a daily fair-use cap applies to your allowance. If anything is unclear, Calling 0333 200 7777 or ASDA Mobile website can confirm before you leave the UK rather than after you land, since some account changes need a UK signal to process.

Countries & Destinations Covered by Asda Mobile

ASDA Mobile roaming is available across multiple destination tiers. EU/EEA destinations typically use your UK allowance at no extra cost on eligible plans. Further destinations (USA, Australia, Asia) may require a roaming add-on or pay-per-use charges.

Always verify specific country availability for your plan in the ASDA account online or on the ASDA Mobile website before travelling.

Asda Mobile's Roaming Charges & Data Limits

Knowing how roaming charges apply keeps bills predictable. This is how it generally works on ASDA Mobile:

  • Outside included zones: Standard roaming rates apply, which can be significantly higher. Enable a travel add-on before travelling.
  • Data cutoff: Once you hit the roaming data cap, data may stop entirely or switch to a paid top-up — check your plan settings.
  • Included destinations: You use your UK data, calls and texts allowance — no additional charge on most plans.
  • Fair use limit: Some plans cap the data you can use while roaming even within included zones. Check your plan's fair use policy.
Tip: Your phone's data usage alerts (Settings › Mobile Data) are worth enabling to keep an eye on roaming data in real time.

Troubleshooting ASDA Mobile Roaming

  1. Toggle Aeroplane Mode on for 30 seconds, then off, to force a network re-scan.
  2. Enable data roaming in Settings › Mobile Networks — it is off by default on most phones.
  3. Try manual network selection: Settings › Mobile Networks › Network Operators. Search for networks and select a ASDA Mobile partner manually.
  4. Check your plan includes the destination country — not all plans cover all countries.
  5. Check signal strength — in remote areas or certain countries, ASDA Mobile may have limited partner coverage.
  6. Verify APN settings — check APN is still set to everywhere and has not been replaced by a local carrier profile.
  7. Restart your phone after arriving to register on a local ASDA Mobile partner network.
  8. Contact ASDA Mobile support: 0800 952 0011.
