Roaming without the sky-high rates

Smart phones: many of us can’t live without them. What did we do before we were able to transfer money while standing in a shop? Or sneak peeks at live sports scores while out to dinner? What we can live without is the stomach-dropping data bill which too-often accompanies one’s return from an overseas trip.

While turning off your data when overseas and only using wifi is one way to avoid a nasty phone bill, what happens when there’s no wifi in sight? Most of us have loved ones we want to contact, photos we wish to share or places we need to Google. Below are some options specifically designed to combat overseas roaming costs and post-trip phone bill depression.
