How do I make my roaming data last?

Turn on low data mode so apps stop eating data in the background, use Wi-Fi for big downloads, and download maps and playlists before you go.

A few small changes make your roaming data go a lot further.

Turn on low data mode. It's in your phone's mobile data settings. It stops apps updating and backing up in the background, and keeps streaming quality sensible.

Other easy wins:

Download maps, playlists and shows on Wi-Fi before you leave.
Turn off auto-play for videos in social apps.
Switch off photo backup until you're on Wi-Fi.
