3. Important Travel Phone Tips
When travelling internationally, most phone networks charge excessive fees
for data usage. Be sure that you understand the cost of data on your network.
Liberty Travel encourage you to speak with your service provider in advance to
learn more about fees and activating or de-activating Global Data Roaming.
Without global roaming activated with your service provider you may not be
able to use your phone at all to make calls or send/receive messages. You may
also need to find out how to enable/disable this option on your device.
Finally, download all your apps, maps and resources before you hit the road.
You don't want a phone bill that costs more than your vacation!
