Reduce mobile data use while travelling
Automatic media playback, cloud backup, app updates and high-resolution streaming can use data in the background. Operating-system names and controls differ, so check the current guide for your phone.
Before you go
Download maps and entertainment over Wi-Fi, restrict background refresh where useful, and monitor the provider’s remaining balance. Keep essential security updates and account protections enabled.
- Check that every country on your trip appears in the coverage list.
- Read the plan validity and the event that starts its clock.
- Treat local-currency displays as estimates; the checkout USD amount is the amount charged.
If the instructions don’t match your phone
Inventory, coverage and activation rules can change. Read the terms attached to the exact package at checkout, and save a copy for your trip.
