From unexpected data usage to out-of-bundle calls, roaming fees can escalate fast – especially if your mobile plan isn’t optimised for international travel.
At Connection Technologies, we believe staying connected shouldn’t come at the cost of peace of mind. That’s why we offer proactive support to help you manage your mobile usage abroad and avoid unnecessary charges.
Why Roaming Fees Catch People Out
Roaming charges often occur when:
- You travel to a country outside your inclusive roaming zone
- Your device uses mobile data in the background (e.g. app updates, cloud sync)
- You make or receive calls from premium-rate numbers
- You exceed your data allowance while abroad
These charges can be unpredictable (and expensive) especially in “Rest of World” destinations where rates are significantly higher.
Tips to Manage Mobile Costs Abroad
Here are some simple but effective ways to stay in control:
- Check Your Roaming Zone Before You Travel
Not all destinations are covered by standard roaming plans. Contact us to confirm your coverage and avoid out-of-bundle charges. - Use Wi-Fi Where Possible
Connect to secure Wi-Fi networks for browsing, messaging, and calls. Disable automatic updates and cloud sync to reduce background data usage. - Monitor Usage in Real Time
Use your network portal to track data, calls and roaming activity so you’re never caught off guard. - Enable Spend Caps and Alerts
We can help you set up usage alerts and spend limits to prevent unexpected bills. - Consider Roaming Bolt-Ons
For frequent travelers, we offer roaming bundles tailored to your destination and usage needs.
