O2 Travel is O2’s new rate for our customers when they’re travelling across Europe this summer. For just £1.99, you can get enough data to share up to 20 snaps on Instagram to make your friends green with envy as you soak up the sun. And one of those snaps could win you a trip.

Or keep an eye on the office while you’re poolside checking in on up to 100 emails … with their attachments.For those wanting to talk, there is a one-off connection charge of 50p for all calls made in Europe. When you make a call you’ll be using your UK minutes. Receiving a call is also subject to a 50p one off connection charge.
