Going out of EU

Going outside the EU on holiday. My phone isn't compliant with e-sims unfortunately... have i got this right - That if i pay £15 for add on data, its £1 per megabyte - so its likely my data would get eaten up if i had google maps? Seems a bit extortionate tbh if thats the case 

Thanks

    Hi.

    Thanks. No im hoping this device will last a bit longer - i guess i can manage with a bit of planning, managed it in Turkey to be honest without Internet.

    Thanks again.

    ChrisLl_2494894​ What you say does appear to be correct, depending upon what country you are visiting. The Prices for Roaming are in the Smarty Price Guide - yes, they are horrendous, but Smarty presumably has to pay the networks.

    Travel Esims are the way to go. Is it possible that buying a modern phone could work out cheaper overall?
