Okay so just arrived in the Philippines which is on Ahamo’s list of countries it operates in free of charge.
Do I need to do anything?
I’ve just been using the data but not received any message from Ahamo so I’m a bit scared I’m just running up a huge roaming bill if I’ve done something wrong.
Keen to hear from anyone who has used Ahamo abroad before

Hi. I used Ahamo in Vietnam before. It just automatically connects to a local provider and gives you access to data without any additional cost. Just make sure you turn off data roaming and even normal roaming (if there is such an option).
I just joined ahamo 1 month ago and signed up at the shop. They said that you don’t have to do anything to use the data overseas for up to 20GB. No application, no process. I hope this is true, because I’m headed to Europe next month for a week.
Just flick on roaming and you should be good. Just keep in mind that after 2 weeks abroad you’ll see reduced speeds. Even then 128 kbps is plenty for sending and receiving messages.

Used it in America in the same way! Just turn on roaming. I believe there’s a 20gb limit before it throttles you to a lower speed though.
wait really? im going to PH next month and i was afraid of not having data on my docomo ahamo. youre saying I get 20GB with roaming turned on!?
