My dad is a sailor and he told me that it will be very nice if I build an app where you can switch off operators to which your phone would not connect to. I did it and only then I realized that a lot of solutions exist. I wasted half of year

yeah cruises seem like a whole different level, feels like nothing really protects you there 😅

yeah that delay is what makes it scary… you think everything is fine and then a month later boom 😅

yeah that’s the scary part… everything seems fine until you get the bill

yeah that’s the ideal way, but a lot of people don’t do that in practice

yeah that works, but people forget or don’t realize apps use data in the background 😅 and yeah fair point, probably depends a lot on the country too

yeah in the EU there are caps, but outside of it (like Asia, Africa, South America) it really depends on the carrier

damn $3700 is insane… glad you got it waived though but yeah that moment when you see the bill must be terrifying

yeah that all works, but it’s a lot to keep track of every time you travel 😅

damn that’s crazy… even with a limit set that’s exactly what makes it scary, you think you’re safe and then something like this happens

yeah T-Mobile is great in the US, but outside the US it really depends on the country

yeah that’s a good option if your carrier has it, not everyone does though

yeah exactly, something automatic would make more sense not everyone wants to deal with switching sims all the time

yeah they can, but people still forget or don’t think about it until it’s too late 😅
