When it comes to travelling for business, staying connected is essential. But excessive data charges can put a dent in your budget. That's why we've put together some handy tips to help you keep your data usage in check while on the move. There are many ways you can reduce your data usage before you work abroad. Take a look at our tips to give you peace of mind when travelling abroad for business.
Use available Wi-Fi abroad
From hotels to local cafes, free Wi-Fi connections can be found all over and can save using up your data from Three mobile use abroad. Just make sure they are secure and legitimate connections to avoid any data security risks.

Reduce data usage by downloading before you go
Maps, translation apps, business and travel documents, project files or even shows and movies. Download them before your travel to avoid excess data roaming charges.
Stop apps from using data to avoid roaming charges
Apps use data in the background even if they’re not running so ensure you turn off mobile data for non-essential apps when you work abroad. You can check which apps on your Three Business mobile are being used whilst abroad via the Mobile Data, Three App or Network & Internet settings on your work phone and tablet.
Adjust or review Spend Caps - don't opt out
Before you set off on your business travels, be sure to adjust your Spend Cap. If it’s set to £0, you may not be able to roam if a daily charge applies. If you increase your Spend Cap, remember to reduce it again when you return to the UK.
