Lyca Mobile Roaming FAQs
Should data roaming be on or off?
With data roaming, you can use your phone in a different country, just as you did back home. When enabled, your phone connects to a local network your service provider has a partnership with in the country you’re visiting.
That said, you risk running scarily high roaming charges if you don’t have a valid roaming plan. You will be charged global roaming charges for calls, texts, and data. Even incoming calls are chargeable when it comes to roaming.
So, should you keep data roaming on or off?
Enable data roaming if
- Your plan has roaming benefits for the country you’re visiting.
- You’re using a travel eSIM that only works when data roaming is enabled.
- You have to make a call or use data and you have no access to Wi-Fi.
Disable data roaming if
- You live near the border. This helps avoid accidental connection with foreign networks.
- Your plan only has local benefits.
- You’ve just landed in a foreign country and you’re yet to purchase a travel eSIM or a local SIM card.
You don’t have to worry about data roaming if you have a Lyca Mobile pay as you go SIM or a pay monthly SIM only plan. These deals include roaming benefits for the EU and select Asian countries.
