Data roaming might be convenient but it's expensive and unpredictable. Unexpected roaming charges happen all the time. Plus, coverage can be slow and unreliable as local users typically get network priority.
It might be free but Wi-Fi availability varies widely from country to country, and you’re not always guaranteed to find a strong (or secure) connection. More importantly, you waste precious time looking for internet.
Traditionally, the travel SIM card was the go-to solution for connectivity abroad. However, it involves finding a store, purchasing the card, and physically swapping it with your current SIM—a process that can be quite tedious.
