The Office of the Communications Authority reminds holidaymakers to be wary of their use of mobile data roaming services while travelling abroad to avoid expensive bills.

If mobile data roaming is not required while travelling, consumers should ask their operators to temporarily deactivate their mobile data services, and switch off the mobile data function on their mobile devices before departure.
