How to Save Money on Mobile Data While Traveling

Staying connected abroad does not have to be expensive. Combine a travel eSIM with a few smart habits to keep costs low.

Start with the right plan

Choose a plan sized to your real needs. Overbuying wastes money; you can always top up.

Reduce data use

• Download maps, playlists, and shows on Wi-Fi.
• Turn off auto-play video and background app refresh.
• Lower streaming quality on cellular.

Avoid roaming traps

Disable data roaming on your home line so only your eSIM uses data. This prevents accidental charges from your primary carrier.

A little prep before you fly can cut your data bill by more than half.
