Italy / No internet / Usage ?

Jay Dee

Hi,

Going to Italy for two weeks approx.
Will need internet connection for various things,
but if free internet is not available, and I use my own GB's,
How much do you use a day?

I know it's not a fixed amount, etc, but for looking up Places of interest, restaurants, etc, what would you expect?

Thanks

Jay

Which network are you with ? What is your allowance for roaming?

One thing you could do is use the Google Trips app https://get.google.com/trips/ and download the relevant info before you go so you can view it offline. Also download the maps of the area your going to before hand.

1-2Gb probably. What network are you on?
Roaming in the eu is free on the most part these days.

Hi,

On Vodafone. PAYG
No Contract.... The € 20.00 per month one.
Not worried about phone calls etc.. more like
looking up Places to go / Things to see / Restaurants...
that sort of thing.
When I cannot get free internet and will be using my own.

Thanks

Jay

I'm on the Vodafone Student X 20 a month deal. Have been to a couple of countries this year and it just uses your normal usage. I've kept 4G/data roaming on the whole time with no problems.

Mr E

Go here and pick Italy from the list:

http://www.vodafone.ie/roaming/rates-by-country/pay-as-you-go/

Internet section says:

Internet on your phone - No extra cost*

* In Europe, Vodafone customers can use their full allowance of calls, texts and data exactly like they would at home. For more information click here.

if you set a mobile data counter between your roaming allowance and wifi you should be ok

From your usage case you've outlined you've nothing to worry about

scamalert

downlaod google maps for area city and no need for wifi gps will take care. as said above with your usage your looking under gig a day at most.

Roaming charges abolished thanks to the EU. The Brits will be in for a shock next summer
