Common Connectivity Mistakes

Most travelers overpay or go without data because of these avoidable errors:

❌ Paying $10/day for carrier roaming packages that still throttle speeds
❌ Buying overpriced SIM cards at airport kiosks without comparing options first
❌ Running out of data mid-trip with no way to top up
❌ Getting a SIM that doesn't work with their phone model
❌ Coming home to a surprise $200+ roaming bill

These mistakes cost travelers $100–$300 per trip.
