I'm going to the Caribbean in a few months and need to know if my Samsung Galaxy A54 will work and what charges I will incur. I won't be calling or making texts but using my camera of course. My hotel has WiFi but what are the costs or van I buy an add on etc etc thanks 😊

Hi ​@Sharon Asquith, Your A54 will work abroad however roaming in the Caribbean will not be included in your plan and you will be charged out of plan charges to make/receive calls, send SMS and use data.

Look at the above guides and select your specific destination for the rates for that country 

There are no add on’s for that area as of yet.

You’d be better off using WiFi only and switching mobile data off. You could even consider purchasing a local SIM card as this will be a lot cheaper.

If your going on a cruise ship and connect to the ship mobile network you will be charged a lot more then using mobile network on land as they use satellite so is more expensive.

Happy to answer anymore specific question if you have them.
