How to Enable RWG Mobile Data Roaming

Roaming defaults to off on almost every device — a deliberate anti-bill-shock measure rather than anything broken — so switching it on yourself before travel is a required step, not optional.

Android (Samsung, Pixel, and others)

  1. Head to Settings › Connections (Samsung) or Network & internet (Pixel) › Mobile Networks.
  2. Turn on Data Roaming and confirm the charges warning.
  3. After landing, either restart or toggle Aeroplane Mode for 30 seconds to connect locally.
  4. Check data is working by loading a website first.

iPhone

  1. Settings › Cellular (or Mobile Data) › Cellular Data Options.
  2. Turn Data Roaming on.
  3. Once you arrive, toggle Aeroplane Mode to connect.
⚠ Set this up before leaving the UK — you may not be able to change it once your phone has no UK signal.

Roaming APN Settings — RWG Mobile

RWG Mobile uses the same APN for both UK data and international roaming: rwgmobile. 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 — RWG Mobile

Yes — EU roaming available on RWG Mobile plans via Three.

⚠ 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 RWG Mobile account portal or carrier website before travelling to avoid unexpected charges.

Verify your destination is covered

Plans vary, so it's worth double-checking rather than assuming Three's full "Go Roam" list applies to you. Open RWG Mobile's account portal, go to your plan details, and look for the roaming or travel section — this shows exactly which countries are included and any daily cap on usage. Calling RWG Mobile website or email support can confirm before departure if you're unsure.

RWG Mobile Roaming Destinations & Countries

RWG 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.

Switzerland / Norway / Iceland✅ Included on most plansUses UK allowance
USA⚠ Available on eligible RWG Mobile plansAdd-on or roam charges may apply

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

RWG Mobile Data Limits & Roaming Charges

Avoiding bill shock starts with understanding how roaming charges apply. Here's the RWG Mobile breakdown:

  • The roaming data cap, once hit, cuts data off or triggers a paid top-up — check settings in advance.
  • Covered destinations draw on the usual UK allowance for data, calls and texts, typically at no extra charge.
  • A fair use cap can restrict roaming data even in covered zones, depending on the tariff.
  • Outside covered zones, standard roaming rates take over, often significantly higher — set up an add-on in advance.
Tip: Set up data usage alerts under Settings › Mobile Data — a simple way to monitor roaming consumption as you go.

Troubleshooting RWG Mobile Roaming

  1. Verify APN settings — check APN is still set to rwgmobile and has not been replaced by a local carrier profile.
  2. Try manual network selection: Settings › Mobile Networks › Network Operators. Search for networks and select a RWG Mobile partner manually.
  3. Settings › Mobile Networks is where data roaming gets turned on, since it defaults off.
  4. Check signal strength — in remote areas or certain countries, RWG Mobile may have limited partner coverage.
  5. Coverage differs by plan — verify the destination country is actually included.
  6. Aeroplane Mode on for 30 seconds, then off, prompts a fresh network re-scan.
  7. Restart your phone after arriving to register on a local RWG Mobile partner network.
  8. Contact RWG Mobile support: 0800 123 4567.
