@skyerayleigh you could get a local SIM card to put in your phone

Hi @skyerayleigh 

Only really three cheap options

• Use wifi based apps such as Whatsapp/Messanger/Viber/Skype etc as long as the other people have the apps
• Use a local sim
• Use Skype by adding credit

Standard costs are

• Pay Monthly

• P&G

• You will need to make sure your phone is unlocked if using a local sim card
• Also call customer service to make sure you have no roaming bars on your account
• Switch voicemail off before leaving the UK to avoid charges for messages left
• Turn off mobile data when boardng the aircraft and leave it off for the duration of your holiday
