You can also read more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lowi.es\/asistencia\/roaming\/que-es-el-roaming\/\">what roaming is<\/a> to gain a better understanding of this technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_roaming_work\"><\/span>How does roaming work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Roaming works through <strong>agreements between mobile providers<\/strong> that allow customers to use other companies\u2019 networks while abroad. When you arrive in another country, <strong>your mobile phone connects to the network of a local provider<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is currently an agreement that allows you to <strong>use roaming in the EU without paying additional charges<\/strong>. However, roaming outside the EU is not always free. <strong>Roaming charges can vary significantly<\/strong> depending on the country and mobile provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is important to <strong>check the prices<\/strong> before travelling to avoid unexpected charges on your bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure you know your provider\u2019s <strong>roaming rates<\/strong>, as well as the rates charged by the foreign providers with which it has agreements. You should also check the <strong>usage limits and billing policies<\/strong>, including charges per minute or per MB used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are a Lowi customer, follow these steps to <strong>check whether you can use roaming<\/strong> in the country you are visiting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lowi.es\/roaming\/\"><strong>Lowi roaming page<\/strong><\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the country from which you will use your line and choose how many GB your plan includes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click <strong>\u201cMostrar tarifas\u201d<\/strong> (\u201cShow rates\u201d) to see the prices that apply in that country. If a roaming agreement applies, as it does within the EU, you can continue using your data and minutes at no additional cost.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To learn more about how roaming works, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/europa.eu\/youreurope\/citizens\/consumers\/internet-telecoms\/mobile-roaming-costs\/index_en.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>official European Union website<\/strong><\/a>. There, you can find information about roaming and data roaming, including fair-use policies and contractual limits when travelling to another EU country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_activate_roaming_on_your_phone\"><\/span>How to activate roaming on your phone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before travelling abroad, <strong>contact your mobile provider<\/strong> and make sure your SIM card is enabled for roaming. Roaming is usually activated by default, but it is worth checking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once roaming is enabled on your SIM card, you will need to <strong>activate data roaming on your mobile phone<\/strong>. The process is simple on both Android and iOS:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to <strong>Settings &gt; Mobile networks<\/strong>, or the equivalent menu on your device.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Find <strong>Data roaming<\/strong> or <strong>Roaming<\/strong> and enable it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lowi.es\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/como-activar-roaming.jpg\" alt=\"Android settings screens showing where to switch on data roaming for your SIM card\" class=\"wp-image-15031\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lowi.es\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/como-activar-roaming.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.lowi.es\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/como-activar-roaming-300x252.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:14px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s it! Roaming is now activated, and you can use your phone to make calls and access the Internet outside your country of residence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are wondering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lowi.es\/asistencia\/roaming\/como-activar-el-roaming\/\">how to activate Lowi roaming<\/a>, you only need to configure your phone\u2019s settings as described above. Roaming is already enabled by default on all our plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_can_I_check_whether_roaming_is_activated_on_my_phone\"><\/span>How can I check whether roaming is activated on my phone?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have followed the steps above and want to check whether roaming is active, the process is very simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to your <strong>phone\u2019s settings<\/strong> and look for the <strong>Roaming<\/strong> or <strong>Data roaming<\/strong> option.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select <strong>Roaming<\/strong> and check whether the service is enabled or disabled.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you are already abroad, look for a <strong>roaming icon<\/strong> on your phone\u2019s screen, usually in the status bar. An <strong>\u201cR\u201d may appear<\/strong> next to the signal bars.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once abroad, you may also notice that the <strong>provider name displayed in the notification bar is different<\/strong> from the company that provides your service in Spain.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_deactivate_roaming\"><\/span>How to deactivate roaming<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you return to your country of residence, we <strong>recommend deactivating roaming on your mobile phone<\/strong>. To do so, follow these simple steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to your phone\u2019s settings and look for <strong>Roaming<\/strong> or <strong>Data roaming<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the option and <strong>deactivate the service on your phone<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you want to deactivate roaming on your SIM card for any reason, contact your provider\u2019s technical support team.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s it! You have now deactivated roaming. This will help you avoid additional charges for using your phone outside your country when no roaming agreement applies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Difference_between_roaming_and_international_calls\"><\/span>Difference between roaming and international calls<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Essentially, <strong>roaming allows you to use your mobile phone in another country<\/strong> without changing mobile providers. <strong>International calls are calls made from one country to a phone number in another country<\/strong>. These calls often carry <strong>higher charges<\/strong> unless they are covered by an agreement or your plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When using roaming, you may be able to call Spanish phone numbers without additional charges, provided that this is included in your roaming conditions. Calls to foreign numbers may be billed differently depending on your location, destination and plan.
