An even easier option is a travel eSIM. Orange Travel eSIMs let you stay connected in many countries without swapping SIM cards or worrying about high costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Staying online while traveling is essential for navigation, translation, and staying in touch. With Orange Travel eSIM, you can activate data instantly and manage your plan from your device, no hassle, no hidden fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Roaming charges occur when your phone uses a foreign network, and your carrier adds extra fees. These can be very costly, sometimes $15 per MB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Orange Travel eSIMs offer a simple, affordable way to stay connected abroad without overspending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Using Your Phone Overseas Can Cost a Fortune<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Roaming charges apply to voice calls, text messages, and data usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Voice Calls:<\/strong> Unlike domestic plans, you are typically charged for both making and receiving calls while abroad. International transit fees between carriers make these per-minute rates significantly higher.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>SMS (Text Messages):<\/strong> Most carriers allow you to <strong>receive<\/strong> texts for free worldwide. However, sending a text usually incurs a flat per-message fee. This is the main distinction between voice and text billing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Data Usage:<\/strong> This is the primary cause of &#8220;bill shock.&#8221; Smartphones use data for background syncs, GPS, and updates even when you aren&#8217;t actively using an app.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These costs accumulate rapidly because international agreements between carriers are complex and expensive. Without a specific plan, you are billed at &#8220;Pay-As-You-Go&#8221; rates, which are the most expensive way to use your phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a deeper dive, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/news.travel.orange.com\/en\/what-is-data-roaming\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>What is data roaming?<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ways to avoid roaming fees abroad<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Activate Airplane Mode<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the most reliable way to prevent accidental charges. It completely disconnects your device from cellular towers, ensuring your carrier cannot bill you for any background activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The Trade-off:<\/strong> Once enabled, you cannot make or receive traditional phone calls or standard SMS (green bubbles\/text-only).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Staying Connected:<\/strong> You can manually re-enable Wi-Fi while Airplane Mode is still on. This allows you to use internet-based services like WhatsApp, iMessage, Google Maps (online), and social media without risking roaming fees.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>How to Enable It:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>On iPhone:<\/strong> Swipe down from the top-right corner (or up from the bottom on older models) and tap the <strong>Airplane icon<\/strong>. Then, tap the Wi-Fi icon to reconnect to a local network.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>On Android:<\/strong> Swipe down from the top of the screen to open Quick Settings and tap Airplane Mode. You can then toggle Wi-Fi back on from the same menu.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Turn off data roaming<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Data roaming allows your phone to access the internet via foreign cellular networks. Turning it off stops all mobile data flow (like emails, apps, and web browsing) while still allowing the phone to remain connected to the voice and SMS network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>What stays active:<\/strong> With Data Roaming OFF, you can still receive and make traditional voice calls and send\/receive SMS.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Risk:<\/strong> Because your cellular signal is still active, you can still be charged high rates for these calls and texts. To stop <em>all<\/em> possible charges, you would need to use Airplane Mode.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>How to disable it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>On iPhone:<\/strong> Go to <strong>Settings<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Cellular<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Cellular Data Options<\/strong> &gt; toggle <strong>Data Roaming<\/strong> to <strong>OFF<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>On Android:<\/strong> Go to <strong>Settings<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Connections<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Mobile networks<\/strong> &gt; toggle <strong>Data Roaming<\/strong> to <strong>OFF<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For a detailed breakdown of when to keep your connection active versus when to kill the signal, see our guide: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.travel.orange.com\/en\/data-roaming-on-or-off\"><strong>Should you keep Data Roaming ON or OFF?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Rely on Wi-Fi whenever possible<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Use the Wi-Fi provided by hotels, cafes, and airports. It\u2019s usually free, but be cautious, public Wi-Fi can be insecure. We recommend using a VPN or sticking to secure networks for any banking or private transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get a Travel eSIM :<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital version of a SIM card built right into your phone. Instead of inserting a physical card, you simply download a mobile plan directly to your device. This means you can get connected abroad in minutes, no need to visit a store or swap SIM cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of relying on your home carrier\u2019s roaming plan, you can install a prepaid eSIM before your trip or as soon as you arrive. This gives you local or regional data at transparent, affordable rates no hidden fees or surprise bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Orange Travel eSIM, you choose the plan that fits your journey, activate it in minutes, and enjoy reliable mobile data wherever you go. It\u2019s a simple, stress-free solution for travelers who want to use their devices freely and keep costs under control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why choose Orange Travel?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Orange Travel is Orange&#8217;s dedicated travel eSIM service<\/strong>, which means you are connecting to Orange&#8217;s own infrastructure.

Major carriers like Verizon, AT&amp;T, and T-Mobile typically charge about $10 per day. For a two-week trip, that adds up to $140, which is much more expensive than most prepaid eSIM options. Longer-period passes may reduce the per-day cost, but still tend to be pricier than prepaid eSIMs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Get a local SIM card<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Buying a physical SIM card after you arrive is often an affordable choice. <strong>Advantages<\/strong> include low upfront costs and the chance to pick from local plans that may offer great value for data and calls. SIM cards are usually available at airports, convenience stores, and mobile shops.<br><br><strong>However, there are several drawbacks:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Finding a store that sells SIM cards can be time-consuming, especially after a long flight or in an unfamiliar place.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Handling a small plastic SIM can be inconvenient. You&#8217;ll need to swap out your original SIM and keep it safe throughout your trip.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When using a local SIM, you lose access to your regular phone number. This means you might miss calls, WhatsApp messages, or important verification texts (like those from your bank or workplace).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Physical SIM cards are easier to lose or damage compared to digital options like eSIMs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Some phones are locked to specific carriers and may not accept foreign SIM cards unless unlocked in advance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want a simpler experience, want to avoid these hassles, and prefer to stay connected on your main number, digital solutions like eSIMs offer a more convenient alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Rent a pocket Wi-Fi<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A Pocket Wi-Fi is a small, portable router that connects to a local cellular network and creates a private Wi-Fi hotspot for your devices. You can learn more about the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.travel.orange.com\/en\/what-is-pocket-wifi\">benefits and setup of portable travel routers<\/a> to see if it fits your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Pros:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Multi-device Connectivity:<\/strong> You can connect multiple devices simultaneously, such as laptops, tablets, and several smartphones, making it ideal for group travel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Consistent Security:<\/strong> It provides a private, password-protected connection, which is much safer than using unsecured public Wi-Fi in hotels or cafes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Higher Costs:<\/strong> Between the daily rental fee and the data plan, it is often more expensive than buying a local SIM or eSIM.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hardware Maintenance:<\/strong> It is one more electronic device you have to keep charged throughout the day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Portability Issues:<\/strong> While small, it is still extra weight to carry in your pocket or bag everywhere you go.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adjusting Phone Settings for International Travel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply turning off roaming will disconnect your device from mobile data networks, meaning you won\u2019t have an internet connection unless you use Wi-Fi. Because of this, background app activity and updates won\u2019t consume mobile data while roaming is off. If you plan to use a travel eSIM or connect to local networks, review the following steps to keep your device secure and your data usage under control:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Disable Background App Refresh &amp; Data:<\/strong> Apps like social media and email often sync in the background. In your settings, restrict background data so these apps only use data when you open them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Manage Automatic Download Settings:<\/strong> Prevent your phone from downloading large software or app updates over cellular networks. Set these updates to &#8220;Wi-Fi Only&#8221; to protect your data plan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reset Statistics:<\/strong> Before your trip, go to your cellular settings and reset usage statistics. This helps you accurately track your data usage during your travels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Toggle Bluetooth and GPS:<\/strong> GPS itself doesn\u2019t use data, but loading maps does. Download offline maps to save data. Turning off Bluetooth when not in use won\u2019t save data, but it will help your battery last longer for taking photos.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Confirm Device Status:<\/strong> Make sure your phone is unlocked. If your device is locked to a specific carrier, you won\u2019t be able to use an Orange Travel eSIM.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Checklist: Preparing Your Phone for International Travel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow these steps to ensure your phone is ready for a hassle-free trip and dependable connectivity:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Check device compatibility:<\/strong> Confirm your phone supports eSIM and is unlocked. Visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.travel.orange.com\/en\/how-to-check-if-my-phone-is-esim-compatible\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official eSIM-compatible device list<\/a> to verify, and contact your carrier to ensure your device can use SIM cards or eSIMs from other providers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Contact your supplier for international options:<\/strong> Ask your current mobile provider about international roaming or travel plans. Compare their offers to see if they meet your needs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Search for local\/eSIM suppliers for your destination:<\/strong> Look for travel eSIM providers like Orange Travel, or local SIM options at your destination. Compare plans to find the best value and coverage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Download offline maps and essential apps:<\/strong> Install the Orange Travel App for eSIM management and download offline maps before you travel. This ensures you can navigate and manage your eSIM even without an internet connection on arrival.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Configure data backup features and disable unnecessary background data:<\/strong> Set backups to Wi-Fi only, turn off background data for non-essential apps, and disable auto-downloads in messaging apps to avoid extra data charges.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>FAQ<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Will I be charged for roaming if I use Wi-Fi?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you use Wi-Fi for internet-based services (like messaging apps or browsing), you won\u2019t incur roaming charges because these activities don\u2019t use your mobile carrier\u2019s cellular network, they\u2019re free as long as you\u2019re on Wi-Fi. However, classic phone calls and SMS (text messages) made through your carrier\u2019s number will still use the mobile network and may result in roaming fees, even if you\u2019re connected to Wi-Fi. To avoid unexpected charges, consider using internet-based calling and messaging apps, and turn off Cellular Data or Data Roaming for extra security. Also, be aware of features like &#8220;Wi-Fi Assist&#8221; that might automatically switch to mobile data if your Wi-Fi signal weakens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Will I get charged in Airplane Mode?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No, this disables all wireless transmissions, including cellular signals, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. You can manually re-enable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth afterward without any risk of carrier charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Will I get charged if my phone is turned off?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your phone is fully powered off, you won\u2019t be charged for data usage or for receiving calls and texts while it remains off. However, roaming charges can occur the moment your phone connects to a foreign network, this happens as soon as you turn your phone on and it registers with the local operator, not simply by powering on the device itself. Regarding voicemail, some mobile carriers may charge for calls that are redirected to your voicemail while you&#8217;re abroad, even if your phone is off, because these calls are processed by the network. To avoid unexpected charges, many travelers disable voicemail or use an eSIM plan for all their data needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can I use WhatsApp on Wi-Fi abroad?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, absolutely. WhatsApp is an &#8220;Over-the-Top&#8221; (OTT) app, which means it works as long as you have an internet connection, whether that&#8217;s from home Wi-Fi, a public hotspot, or a travel eSIM. You can send messages, make voice calls, and share videos just like you do at home. The best part? Your WhatsApp account is tied to your phone number, but the app doesn&#8217;t require your SIM card to be active for it to work. For more details, see our <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.travel.orange.com\/en\/guide-on-how-to-make-free-international-calls\">guide on how to make free international calls.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid high roaming fees while traveling, plan your mobile connectivity in advance. Public Wi-Fi can save money, but it\u2019s not always secure or reliable. An <strong>Orange Travel eSIM<\/strong> offers prepaid plans for data, calls, and SMS, choose the duration and coverage you need, and top up anytime via the app or website. This helps you control costs and ensures seamless, full-speed data abroad. Prepare ahead, pick your plan, and travel with confidence, no hidden fees or surprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid expensive roaming fees when traveling, turn off data roaming, use Wi-Fi, buy a local SIM, or select an international plan. An even easier option is a travel eSIM. Orange Travel eSIMs let you stay connected in many countries without swapping SIM cards or worrying about high costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Staying online while traveling is essential for navigation, translation, and staying in touch. With Orange Travel eSIM, you can activate data instantly and manage your plan from your device, no hassle, no hidden fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Roaming charges occur when your phone uses a foreign network, and your carrier adds extra fees.
