A common problem amongst travellers coming home is arriving home to a large phone bill from roaming data. There are a few ways to prevent this from happening and travel safe without racking up a huge phone bill. Here are some tips to do so:
- Turn OFF Data Roaming – YES, you can still use WI-FI anywhere it is accessible, but to ensure you are not getting charged while exploring – turn data OFF!
2. GET a DATA package – It can be as simple as calling your phone provider and picking a data package option best suited to your travels. If you are wanting to text and log onto apps while travelling this may be your best bet!
3. WI-FI alternatives – If you don’t want to buy a data package this option might be best for you. By using apps like What’s App you can send pictures, messages and notes to friends through WI-FI zones.
