Phone Calls Abroad

Save money on phone calls made while abroad.
  1. When you arrive at your destination, buy a local SIM to phone home for less.
  2. Switch your mobile phone's 3G and roaming services off to avoid a hefty bill whenyou get back. For iPhones, go to: settings/general/mobile data. For Android, it's settings/data usage.
  3. If you have free WiFi access, download Whatsappto send free texts to other Whatsapp users. Otherwise texts cost 11p a time within the EU, and more elsewhere. Receiving texts is free.
