📶 1. Use a Local SIM Card
- Buy a SIM card at the airport or a local shop in your destination country.
- Offers local rates for calls, texts, and data.
- Your phone must be unlocked to use a foreign SIM.
Tip: Check if your phone supports eSIM—many providers now offer digital SIMs you can activate instantly.
🌍 2. Get an International Roaming Plan
- Offered by your home carrier (e.g., Dialog, Mobitel, Airtel in Sri Lanka).
- Usually includes a daily or weekly data package.
- Convenient but often more expensive than local SIMs.
📱 3. Use an eSIM Travel Plan
- Services like Airalo, Nomad, or Holafly offer prepaid data plans for specific countries or regions.
- No physical SIM needed—just install via app.
- Great for short trips or multi-country travel.
📴 4. Use Wi-Fi Only
- Turn off mobile data and use Wi-Fi at hotels, cafes, or airports.
- Use apps like WhatsApp, Viber, or Skype for calls and messages.
- Enable Airplane Mode + Wi-Fi to avoid accidental roaming.
🔧 5. Adjust Your Phone Settings
- Turn off Data Roaming in your phone settings.
- Disable background app refresh and auto-updates.
- Download offline maps and translation tools in advance.
