Best practices for using data abroad
Stay connected without surprises. Use these settings and habits to control data usage and avoid roaming charges.
Smart data habits
A few quick changes can dramatically reduce usage and keep your connection stable.
Set the eSIM as your data line
In cellular settings, choose your OneTap eSIM for Cellular Data. Keep your primary SIM for calls/text if needed.
Keep roaming off on your primary SIM
Disable data roaming on your main SIM to prevent accidental carrier roaming charges.
Use Low Data Mode / Data Saver
Enable your phone’s data-saving mode to reduce background usage and auto-updates.
Download before you go
Save offline maps, playlists, and tickets on Wi‑Fi so you’re not downloading large files on cellular.
Watch for hotspot + video
Hotspot and high-quality video are the fastest ways to burn data. Use Wi‑Fi for long calls and streaming when possible.
