Hi
To use your mobile phone abroad, you have several options: enabling roaming, purchasing a local SIM card, using an eSIM, or relying on Wi-Fi and messaging apps. To avoid high charges, consider disabling data roaming and utilizing Wi-Fi for data-intensive tasks.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1. Roaming:
Check with your provider:
Before you travel, contact your mobile network operator to understand their roaming policies, including any charges, inclusive data allowances, and potential fair usage policies.
Enable roaming:
Depending on your device, you may need to enable roaming in your phone's settings under "Mobile Networks" or similar.
Consider roaming add-ons:
Some providers offer daily or weekly roaming add-ons that allow you to use your usual UK data allowance abroad.
EU roaming:
If traveling within the EU, your provider may offer "Roam Like Home" which allows you to use your UK allowance in eligible destinations
