Have you seen the prices for data roaming?
(Especially since apps tend to send data automatically and also because you're one surprise sync or app store update away from financial catastrophe.)
- binarymax 10y agoData roaming is usually cheap if you pay up front. When I travel I pay a €5 fee for unlimited data for 24hrs. It doesn't allow tethering or film streaming but everything else is covered. I can even use it for Skype calls.
- mcintyre1994 10y agoIt sounds like in this case it wouldn't be data roaming, it'd be local data for the parent in Italy. If it was roaming then both SMS and data would now be regulated.

- gst 10y agoData roaming prices got better with this change, but are still somewhat high. Two of the 4 major US carriers are able to offer free (but somewhat slow) data roaming in Europe, and the other two sell relatively cheap packages for data roaming. How can US carriers offer cheaper roaming in Europe than European carriers themselves?
- Symbiote 10y agoSome European networks offer this too, but it is not required by regulation.
- aianus 10y agoUsing the internet eliminates the need to roam (versus simply getting a local SIM with data at the airport). The POTS is dead.
