Why to buy a SIM card for Europe. Data roaming charges

Using your cell phone when travelling around in your home country, you do not have to worry about calling charges or data charges because the preset charges of your own provider will apply. This changes when you go to another continent such as Europe and start using your cell phone with the mobile phone subscription from your own country over there. When you do so, you need to pay roaming charges and because of that your mobile phone charges can get very high. This will be mostly visible when using mobile data for common tasks such as navigation, checking email, browsing the internet and using apps like WhatsApp or FaceTime. When doing so with your own cell phone, the costs you will have to pay to your provider can be substantial. Yet, there is a simple solution that can be applied when traveling internationally. Arriving in Europe, you can start using a local prepaid SIM card for Europe. Local SIM grants you access to networks of local European providers and allows you to use your smart phone at favorable local rates.
