Treating yourself to a well deserved holiday is always a wonderful idea, though we know it can sometimes be stressful. Navigating mobile networks while traveling abroad can add an extra layer of complexity. But at ParentShield, we believe ‘complicated’ has no place in a service like ours. So, sit back, relax, and discover how we make holidays simpler, safer, and truly enjoyable for families.
Protect Your Pockets Abroad with ParentShield
When it comes to using your ParentShield SIM abroad, we’ve made things straightforward. Any usage outside the UK is subject to zone-based roaming charges, just like standard mobile practice. This applies to both Roam Stage SIM cards and Safe Stage plans, and needs to be enabled for the phone to work while traveling.
The charges are fixed depending on the destination and duration of stay, giving you full control over calls, texts, and mobile data overseas. And, as always with ParentShield, our no-overspending guarantee means you won’t face unexpected bills. If roaming isn’t enabled, the phone simply won’t connect abroad. No roaming, no charges, no surprises.

Child’s Phone Lost Overseas
Don’t panic! Unlike regular networks, where a removed SIM could rack up expensive calls, ParentShield keeps things safe, allowing calls only to standard UK mobile numbers and landlines. That means peace of mind for you and freedom for your child to enjoy their trip.
We’re here to help in any way we can if your child’s device goes missing. Using Cell Tower Tracking (when available), we can identify the phone’s last connection, giving a rough idea of its location, whether that’s the hotel pool or the local pizza shop!
Unfortunately, some phones may not be recovered. If that happens, please let us know. We can either temporarily pause the account until a new handset is ready, or send a Replacement SIM straight to your home so your child can keep connected once you return back.
