How to Save Roaming Charges

If you want to save your cost while travelling worldwide, make sure you have to follow the below points carefully.
Turn Off Data Roaming option in Your Device.
If you have turned off your data roaming option, the Internet connection won’t work outside the UK. This means 3G & 4G connectivity will stop working while you are traveling outside the country.
It is straightforward to do so:
- iPhone:- Settings > Mobile > Turn Off Data Roaming.
- Android:- Settings > Wireless and Networks > More > Mobile networks > Turn Off Data Roaming.
Switch Automatic Updates Off
Most of the application in your store has a feature of automatically update in the background. Without getting in the notice, it will automatically be using your data balance in the background. To minimize this process, turn it off.
Check how to disable automatic updates:
- iPhone:- Settings > iTunes & App Store > Turn Off
- Android:- Settings > Auto-update apps > Select all Apps > Turn Off
Try to Connect through WiFi If Possible
While abroad, always try to look for free public or private WiFi hub-spot. It will save your data a little bit. Even a single Mb will increase your cost.
Don’t Stream Videos or In-stream Apps
Avoid data streaming while you are using mobile data. Streaming consumes a lot of data, especially Netflix is always hungrier for data. Jokes apart, You can use free WiFi hub-spot and save an offline video on your mobile & stream afterward.
