Heading overseas for the summer break? 🏖️ Staying in touch with friends and family when travelling overseas is important, but make sure you know how international roaming works, and how much it will cost you. There may be different rates for calls, data, and texts. You can check your ‘Critical Information Summary’ in your contract, or ask your telco about roaming costs. To minimise extra fees, turn off international roaming or data while you are overseas, and check your usage regularly. Your telco should send you usage alerts when 50%, 85% and 100% of the included value of an international mobile roaming value pack is used. If you’re not sure about anything, ask your telco for help.

Travel tip for China My phone’s location services quit on me. But connecting to a local Wi-Fi network restored location services, including for when I switched back to mobile data. (I was on an international roaming plan with my Singapore telco.) A lot of things we find out from firsthand experience and troubleshoot with trial-and-error. Always good to share to shorten the learning curve for others! #traveltip #traveltips #businesstrip #businesstravel
