PDFs suck for foreign countries since you can't as easily translate the content on demand like a website in a browser. Otherwise, totally agreed.

- mattl 3y agoI’d imagine they’re also more frustrating because data while roaming is typically much slower.
- tom_ 3y agoIt can also be fantastically expensive. Roaming data charges for my phone outside the EU: £5/MByte.
- mattl 3y agoThe data to download a menu is more than the meal. Is free wifi common in Europe? I remember it being quite hard to find a hotspot. Same in the UK.. UK had those “the cloud” things in places.
- seattle_spring 3y agoAlways get a local SIM / eSIM from where you’re traveling. I doubt there’s any country in the world that costs more than $20 / 10GB (give or take). I’ve done this through several countries in Latin America, Singapore, Malaysia, and all over Europe and it’s worked like a charm every time. You should never use your home carrier and roam when traveling internationally, unless you have something like Google Fi which explicitly states that your data allocations apply worldwide.
- mattl 3y agoHow well does that work with iMessage etc? It would be an additional line I guess so should work okay I guess.
