How we verify
Update, October 21, 2026: Roamless’s refer-a-friend and promo-code pages now advertise $10 for each side, while its help centre and app-store listings still say $5 — and our last checkout test (September 5) applied $5. Until we re-test, trust the REFERRAL line in your purchase summary: it shows the amount that actually applies, before you pay.
Every amount on these pages is read from Roamless's own pages and support documentation, and published with the date it was checked. Where we have not confirmed something, we say so rather than filling the gap — the log below records what was checked, when, and what we found.
The method
- Read the amounts from Roamless’s own refer-a-friend page and support articles — never from a coupon site or a referral aggregator.
- Record the date and quote the sentence relied on.
- Publish the date alongside the number.
- When something cannot be confirmed, leave it unstated rather than estimating.
That last rule is the one that matters. It is easy to publish a plausible number; the whole value of this page is that we do not.

What we have NOT verified
Stated plainly, because a gap you are not told about is worse than a gap you are:
- Whether a new account gets $5 or $10 today. By October 21, 2026, Roamless’s refer-a-friend and promo-code pages said $10 for each side (an archived copy of the refer-a-friend page from September 29 still said $5), while its help centre and app-store listings still say $5. Our last checkout test (September 5) applied $5. Until a new test settles it, we publish $5 and say why.
- No payment has been completed. We built two real orders to the payment step with the code applied and screenshotted the result, but did not submit either. So the application of the referral is verified; the arrival of the US$5 in an account after payment is not.
- We publish no per-country data rates. Roamless prices data per destination and those rates move; a table here would be wrong for most readers on most days. Check your destination in the app.
- Roamless contradicts itself on expiry. Its support pages say credits never expire; its Terms and Conditions say credits become inactive after 12 months and may be cancelled. We publish both rather than choosing the flattering one.
- US$5 is in US dollars. What it converts to in Canadian dollars depends on the rate on the day, and we do not publish a converted figure that would be stale immediately.
Verification log
| Date | What we checked | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-21 | Programme rules re-read on Roamless’s own pages: the refer-a-friend and promo-code pages, the help centre, both app-store listings, the Terms and Conditions (now dated October 14, 2026) and the Campaign Terms. No checkout test this round. | Conflict found, not resolved: the refer-a-friend and promo-code pages now advertise $10 for each side — an archived copy of the refer-a-friend page from September 29 still said $5 — while the help centre (last edited October 8) and both app-store listings say $5. We kept the cart-tested US$5 and added a dated note to every page; a checkout test will settle it. Unchanged: US$5 minimum first purchase, 30-day window, no cap, no combining with promo codes, one code per device, the 12-month-inactivity clause. Newly published: the credit pays for pay-as-you-go data and in-app calls but not for fixed plans or the unlimited plans launched in October 2026, and Roamless’s WEB101 promo (10% off a first purchase). Corrected: the promo-or-referral page still said referral codes go only in the app — it was missed in the September 5 correction. |
| 2026-09-05 | Live checkout test. Built two real Roamless orders (a US$20 credit top-up and a 10 GB Canada 30-day plan) with the referral code applied, and screenshotted both. Not submitted. | The code goes in the “Promo code” field — Roamless uses one field for both promo and referral codes. A “$5.00 Roamless Credit — REFERRAL — Free” line appears above the total and the $0.35 service fee is struck out, so the reward is confirmable before paying. It applies to fixed data plans as well as credit. This contradicted our own pages, which said the code never goes in a web checkout; corrected the same day. Screenshots on code not working. |
| 2026-09-05 | Pre-publication review of our own draft against Roamless’s documentation. | Five corrections, none published. (1) We said a code is entered under “Get Free Credits” — that is where a referrer finds their OWN code to share. (2) We said Roamless sells no fixed plans — it sells 30-day data plans for every destination. (3) Our terms page rendered the amount as “US” with the figure missing. (4) We said a promo and a referral force a permanent choice — the real rule is not-on-the-same-purchase, and both can be taken in sequence. (5) We repeated Roamless’s “credit never expires” without its Terms, which allow cancellation after 12 months of inactivity. All corrected before launch. |
| 2026-09-05 | Full programme rules against Roamless’s refer-a-friend page and support documentation, before publishing these pages. | US$5 each side, US$5 minimum first purchase, 30-day window, no cap, rewards do not expire, no combining with promo codes, one code per device. Nothing contradicted. No payment test run — recorded above as an open gap. |
New rows are added after each check. We do not log checks we have not run.
Frequently asked questions
How often do you check?
We aim for monthly, and same-day whenever Roamless changes something we have published. Every check goes into the log on this page with its real date and with what it did and did not confirm — including checks that found nothing changed, and checks that found a conflict we could not resolve. If the newest entry is more than a month old, we are behind.
What sources do you use?
Roamless's own refer-a-friend page and its support documentation. We do not take amounts from coupon sites or referral aggregators — those routinely publish expired offers as live, which is the problem this site exists to correct.
Have you tested the code yourself?
The programme rules are verified against Roamless's documentation. A full end-to-end payment test is noted in the log when one has been run — and its absence is noted when it has not.
