gardenmom5 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 what I have learned. if you can avoid buying a sim card at the airport - don't buy one at the airport. expensive for VERY LITTLE data. they sell it in MEGAbytes. when you're driving a lot, taking the scenic route to get places - navigation uses a lot of data. at least when I could set it while I had wifi I got something, just not voice support. and a big banner over the screen to block my view. we just ended up buying another simcard at a store in a mall (yes, they have them) in innsbruck. cheaper over all - for 8 GIGAbytes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Yeah, both things are true. My dd fortunatelt learned that before she went to France and her host mom assisted her in going to a legitimate place where you can buy them at a sensible rate. When I visited, I didn’t buy a sim card, but I did get a block of roaming GBs from Verizon that affiliates with Orange in Europe. But navigation eats a ton of data so I learned (the hard way) to keep turning my data off until I actively needed it. My first data block was expended in like three days, but after I understood what I was doing, the second block lasted the remainder of two weeks.
