Travelling abroad without a smartphone

If you want one for travelling, it's a good idea to find one that has an e-sim. Just load up the e-sim for the country you are visiting and it will be way cheaper than using your uk sim.

Totally agree! I used to rely on roaming whenever I travelled, but then I found out that using an eSIM can be much cheaper. I tried the Kaspersky eSIM Store on a trip to Spain and found it really convenient. I could set everything up before the trip and have mobile data as soon as I arrived, without worrying about roaming charges. I purchased 10GB and it was fully enough for daily using social media during 7 days trip.
