Hi
I'm shortly going to Jordan for 10 days and would like to know how much, if, data allowance I have for calls and Internet usage
Thanks

@JanTemp_2053190 The simple answer is zero because Jordan is not in the EU.
Take a look at the price guide - you will need to add credit to your account to pay for any usage while there.
Pages 19 & 20 show that you will pay £2.50 per min to make a call and £1 per min to receive and 40p for a text. Data is £1 per megabyte - so that means £1024 for a gigabyte !!! (An Esim is a HUGE amount cheaper!!)
The alternatives are:
1. buy a local sim when there, if possible
2. If you have a fairly recent model of phone, look at buying an Esim from one of the specialist providers, such as Airalo. This will give you an amount of data and you can make calls from an app like WhatsApp.
