10 Skills Every Traveler Must Know

1. How to use your phone abroad and avoid roaming fees To put it simply, roaming is evil. It will cost you a fortune, so turn it off now. Even if you don't pickup the phone, you will be charged. Step 1: To turn off roaming On iOS, go to Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Options and slide Data Roaming to OFF. On Samsung, go to Settings > Connections > Data Usage > International Data Roaming and uncheck International Data.
