Perhaps pop your phone in flight mode, and use some free local Wi-Fi networks while over in Antigua and Barbuda.

I will. Although I might see if I can get a sim for when I’m out there xx

In my recent trips overseas, I’ve noticed local SIM cards are available to purchase in the arrivals hall at overseas airports.

Although on my trips abroad, I’ve used a data-only eSIM plan for roaming mobile data, which has worked well for me.

I’ll look at that. It’s only so I can contact the kiddies really. I’m planning a n switching off from reality for the week :)

Hi @Cherylb123 

 

The best option to avoid charges while roaming would be to use a bill cap on your account and setting it to an amount you’d be comfortable with, you can set it to £0 if you wish to have no out of allowance charges.
