Where to get cheap data while travelling abroad
23 October 2017 - 09:36
This is one of the big travelling questions of our time: cheap data and where to get it.
If your phone is your travelling bestie (those who don't travel with smartphones are probably about as rare as those of us who still write and send postcards), then you'll know the eye-watering cost of using your phone in foreign lands.
That's not to say phone companies aren't waking up. Local operator Cell C recently announced reduced international roaming rates to 58 countries across 99 networks with users paying a standard rate of R10 per minute for making and receiving calls, R10 per megabyte for data and R2.99 for every text. That should make some people happy...
There’s never been a more important time to support independent media.
From World War 1 to present-day cosmopolitan South Africa and beyond, the Sunday Times has been a pillar in covering the stories that matter to you.
For just R80 you can become a premium member (digital access) and support a publication that has played an important political and social role in South Africa for over a century of Sundays. You can cancel anytime.
