Tips and tricks on
international roaming

To avoid bill shock while using international roaming, it is important to check rates before travelling, use Wi-Fi when possible, monitor usage, and consider purchasing a local SIM card or an international roaming package.

Connecting to Wi-Fi whenever available dramatically reduces your data roaming costs. Use hotel, cafe, and public Wi-Fi for browsing, streaming, and messaging apps so you're not drawing on your cellular data plan abroad.

Every destination has different rates for calls, SMS, and data. Review your carrier's international rates table before you travel so you know exactly what to expect on your bill when you return.
