You could get a huge phone bill this summer: here’s how to avoid it

Most people don’t put their mobile phones away even during the holidays. Today, it has grown so much in the palm of our hands that it would be strange to spend even weeks without the latest news or without continuous communication with our loved ones. However, abroad, this can cost extra money in many cases.

“Before traveling abroad, make sure to find out which roaming fee zone the country is in, and how much roaming calls and data your subscription includes, and if you need more, which extra package is worth buying,” he suggests. the Money Center.

The phone bill can jump if you use the Internet abroad

Although in the territory of the European Union and that in other countries of fee zone 1 when traveling periodically, we can usually use their subscription under conditions corresponding to the Hungarian tariff, in other countries, mobile internet and telephone calls may incur additional costs. That’s why it’s worth checking well in advance with the telephone service provider with which we have a contract, what kind of roaming classification the country in question has.

The most popular destinations in Europe some also fall into another category, such as Montenegro, Switzerland, Serbia or Turkey. In these areas according to fee zone 2 we can chat with our phone.

Downloads can also add to your phone bill

It doesn’t hurt to download the phone applications in advance that can help us during our trip. Google Maps, the local traffic maps, or if we use public transport, the apps for that can also come in handy, but for language recognition programs, program ideas or choosing a nice dinner place, for example, Tripadvisor is also good if it is already available on our phone. Let’s prepare for the longer flight with pre-downloaded music and movies we save on downloads that require a large amount of dataso our phone bill can also be lower.
