What should I do if my mobile phone doesn't surf the Internet when traveling abroad? I don't want to do international roaming. Is it too expensive?

You can use portable WiFi, which is equivalent to a WiFi transmitter and the size of a mobile phone. Tourists leave the country with their own WiFi, which is similar to bringing a wireless router with them. They can connect to the network by turning on the device, searching for the device, selecting the network and entering the password. Generally, one device can be used by five people.

In fact, there are more and more free WIFI hotspots now, and it will be much cheaper to use wireless. Moreover, if you really go abroad for a long time, it is also a good choice to buy a foreign phone card.

When you go abroad, you will be charged separately for opening data traffic, or you need to purchase the corresponding international traffic package separately. The cost of using mobile data when leaving the country is not included in the daily tariff package of users in China.

Extended data

Industry insiders remind consumers that the automatic upgrade of some software and the downloading of files by some malicious software in the background will consume traffic unconsciously. If consumers want to use the Internet, in these tourist developed areas, shopping malls, supermarkets, restaurants and other public places, there are basically free WIFI open to the public.

In the United States, for example, China Mobile charges 0.005 yuan /KB for mobile data traffic and does not subscribe to international data packages. China Unicom charges 5. 12 yuan/m (1m =1024kb); China Telecom charges 0.008 yuan /KB. Accordingly, if it is used in China, mobile is 1 yuan /M, Unicom is 0.3 yuan /M, and telecom is 0.3 yuan/m. It is not difficult to see that the gap between international and domestic tariffs is huge, reaching ten times or more.
