Travelling to Brazil - with EE for mobile

Zeebedy · 2 Apr 2022 at 01:24

Hey guys,

there is a chance, that soon, I will need to travel to Brazil..

Im with EE as my provider, is there any information someone can give, regarding mobile data, so I can use out and about when in Brazil.

I checked on EE but couldn't get much info on it.

Cheers guys!

Don't select the Travel Max add-on otherwise you get auto enrolled into roaming charges when abroad which bypasses a spend cap.

I've just been stung £6.xx/day because of this despite not even using the mobile data.

oh wow. Thanks for the heads up.

I think I will just see how I can get by with Wi-Fi / Skype

If you phone is locked then I think it does. You can unlock it here though: https://ee.co.uk/help/help-new/gett...nlock-a-ee-device-to-use-with-another-network
