Internet (Data) Roaming

Tips for Internet (Data) Roaming: 

Contact your mobile operator’s customer care department prior to travelling to check data roaming charges in the country you are travelling to.

While roaming in the EU you can contact your mobile operator free of charge on the following numbers to verify the price of using your mobile while abroad

Eircom (Business only) - 00353 1 411 5085

Tesco - 1743

If you frequently use the internet while roaming check with your mobile operator to see if you can avail of a daily or monthly data roaming package (this could save you money and avoid bill shock)

Be clear you understand how your operator displays data roaming prices. In general data roaming prices are displayed per Megabyte (MB) but sometimes prices are displayed per Kilobyte (KB). One Megabyte is equal to 1024 Kilobytes. For example if your operator displays their data roaming prices per Kilobyte and the cost is €0.01, then a Megabyte of data would cost you €10.24 (your operator should be able to advise as to approximately how much usage you should be able to expect for 1 Megabyte of data).
