For references you can check this here:

As you can see it is not included so if you are going to use your Sky sim you could well bit hit with quite a large bill as using mobile data is very expensive at £4.32 per megabyte (not gigabyte).:

@Mr+TGrant

£2 per day is EU/EEA, overseas territories of EU and EEA nations, and a bare handful of other international destinations (primarily USA/Canada, Australia/New Zealand and South Africa)

Personally I wouldn't connect to a local network at all. You won't get any service unless you want to pay the high rates and by connecting you run the risk of incurring them... e.g. incoming calls

@Mr+TGrant

Best to have all mobile data switched off.

You really don't want to attach to a cell mast without knowing it: at that cost per megabyte it's possible to run up a substantial bill very rapidly just on background apps.

Hi @Mr+TGrant when I travel to a rest of the world destination I turn off roaming and mobile data before leaving the UK, if you wait until in the air or landed your phone will connect and incur charges. Once at my hotel I turn on WiFi and use that wherever possible.
