Why is my phone roaming?
Your phone is roaming because it’s connecting to a network outside of your home carrier’s available coverage geography. This typically happens when you’re travelling across international borders or outside of your home region.
While roaming is a way of staying connected, it often comes with extra charges for being on another network, especially when it comes to data usage. This can be an unpleasant surprise if you're still close to home but your carrier’s signal is weak, leaving your phone hunting for a stronger network.
Check your phone’s mobile data or network settings and toggle “Data Roaming” off to avoid unexpected fees. If you’re planning an international trip, use an eSIM to get local data access without roaming to stay connected for an affordable, low price.
