What is the best and most cost efficient way to have roaming on in Barbados. I have 3 sims in total across my family.

Not using Sky Mobile... Ensure airplane mode is on and use local WiFi.

It's a rest of world location:

£2,160 per GB of data (Yes, that's two thousand)

£2.16 per minute to call UK

£1.80 per minute to receive calls

50p per text

Calls to local numbers are charged at International rates.

There isn't one with a Sky SIM: you need to look at local provision (Digicel or Flow) or specialist providers of travel eSIMS.

Numerous online sources give advice about mobile provision when travelling in locations not included in a home country plan
