Traveling overseas? Contact your mobile service provider and find out if your current phone plan allows you to make phone calls and send text messages internationally. If you get the go-ahead, you can enable roaming on your device so it automatically picks up service from the local mobile service provider your carrier is partnered with when you get to your destination:
- Launch the Settings app.
- Head to “Network & internet.”
- Tap “Mobile network” or pick your current SIM.
- Enable Roaming.
To ensure that you don’t go blow up your cellphone bill, consider setting a data limit so mobile data automatically turns off when you hit your desired range.
On the other hand, if you don’t have the ability to make free phone calls and send text messages abroad through your phone plan, turn off Mobile Data on your carrier-tied SIM. Alternatively, if you have an unlocked Android phone, see if you can purchase a prepaid SIM at your destination. If your Android phone model has eSIM capabilities, look into getting one from services like Nomad or Airalo and set it up prior to your trip, Whatever company you choose should be able to guide you through the installation process.
It may also be worth combing through all your most used apps — especially streaming platforms like Netflix or Spotify — to check if they come equipped with a data-saving mode. Enabling it can help further reduce mobile data usage. Alternatively, some apps may have settings that let you restrict using the service only when your device is connected to Wi-Fi. If available, turn it on while you’re abroad and remember to reverse it once you get back home.
