Mobile data abroad

AlisonWh — Mon, 06 Jan 2025 11:01:50 GMT

Does anyone know if you can buy mobile data packages?? Going on a cruise soon to Belgium, Germany and Holland and I'd like to be able to contact family at home, or is it cheaper just to get charged daily??

There are no packages you can buy in advance.

Those locations will incur the £2/day roaming passport. Be careful connecting or using any ship service...

Thank you for your reply, £2 isn't too bad, I heard the WiFi on ship is horrendously priced, definitely won't be connecting to ships WiFi!!!

Be careful about using mobile data on the ship as it isn't usually £2 but can be considerably more !

Many ship services have a 'free' initial usage before it gets expensive. Only worth considering if 'at sea' and you need access.

Otherwise, the phone will still work a surprising distance from shore.
