Traveling abroad can be a wonderful experience, but it can also incur additional costs related to telephone and internet usage.
Roaming, or using your mobile device outside your home country, can quickly increase your phone bill (or wipe out your credit) if not managed correctly. However, there are simple and economical solutions to stay connected during your travels without having to face astronomical expenses.
In this article, we'll explore some practical tips on how to plan and use an international SiM Card and eSIM to travel roam-free and make the most of your connections during your adventures abroad.
Whether you're planning a quick weekend getaway or a longer trip, these tips will help you stay connected, communicate with ease, and save money.
Plan ahead
The key to a hassle-free roaming travel experience is planning. Purchase an international SIM Card or eSIM on BLIVALE before leaving for your trip. This will give you time to activate it, and if you want to test it, also purchase the relevant data for your country (where you are), ensuring that everything works correctly when you are abroad.
BLIVALE offers coverage in numerous countries (around 200 worldwide) with advantageous data and voice rates. Compare the different options and choose the one that best suits your travel needs.
Know the Pricing Plans
Each BLIVALE international SIM Card and eSIM offers different tariff plans, with options that vary based on data, call minutes and SMS included. Before leaving, choose the plan (or plans) that best suit your travel needs.
In BLIVALE you find SIM Cards and eSIMs that offer not only data but data packages with calls and SMS included. If you then wish to take a VoIP number from your country of origin and/or destination to combine with the SIM and which you cannot find in the SIM, contact BLIVALE indicating which VoIP number you want, and you will receive a quote.
Please note that BLIVALE offers SIMs with unlimited data, calls and SMS packages for certain countries or regions for a fixed monthly cost. Otherwise BLIVALE provides pay-as-you-go minute packages.
Carefully evaluate your connectivity and communication needs during your trip to select the most convenient plan.
Enable Roaming Features
Once you have purchased and activated your international SIM card, ensure that roaming is correctly enabled on your device. Carefully follow the instructions provided by BLIVALE to configure roaming and ensure correct operation abroad.
Also check that your phone is set to automatically use the international Sim Card and eSIM network when you are outside your country. This way, you will avoid being unintentionally connected to your local operator's network with additional roaming costs.
Use the BLIVALE VoIP APP
To further reduce the costs of international calls, consider using the consumption control and VoIP communication APP that BLIVALE provides. This APP allows you to make calls and send messages at low cost or even for free if included with the SIM, using the data connection of your international SIM card.
If you want to communicate for free wherever you are, and use the data from the BLIVALE SIM , you can use WhatsApp and Telegram and other APPs that you are used to using in your country. Or you can purchase an additional SIM to give to your interlocutor to talk to each other for free, and also make WebCalls. BLIVALE supports you and helps in your hassle-free communication during your trip.
Monitor Data Usage
During your trip, carefully monitor the data consumption of your international SIM by accessing the APP that BLIVALE provides you, thus keeping track of data traffic and minutes (if applicable) and alerting you when you are approaching the limit of your plan, to allow you to top up and always be connected.
Being aware of your data usage will help you avoid unexpected charges and manage your usage to stay within your data plan limits.
Configure Text Messages
If you plan to send a lot of SMS during your trip, it is advisable to purchase BLIVALE eSIM and Infinity SIM Cards where you have unlimited calls, SMS and data.
Recharge in advance
If you are already a BLIVALE customer and already have a SIM for the destination country, if you no longer have data credit, you can top it up before leaving for your trip. This way, you will avoid having to deal with complications or delays during your stay abroad.
The APP provided by BLIVALE allows you not only to check your traffic, but also to top up when you are at your destination, in case you need additional connectivity during the trip.
Customer service
Finally, make sure you have BLIVALE 's customer support contacts handy .
Conclusion
By following these tips, you will be able to make the most of your international SIM card and eSIM and minimize roaming costs when traveling abroad. Plan carefully, check coverage and rates, enable roaming features and use the APP to stay connected and communicate economically.
