What your carrier charges for data abroad
Day passes, included roaming and pay as you go, for the main US, UK and Australian networks in the places their customers travel to most. Each figure links to the carrier's own page and carries the day we read it. The last column is our plan for the same week.

How we read these figures
Every figure comes from the carrier's own roaming page, linked from the figure, and is the price a customer on a standard monthly plan pays, tax as the carrier states it. Where an option depends on the plan, the line under the price says so.
A week is what seven days of data cost with the carrier's cheapest option: seven day passes, or one longer pass when that is cheaper. Included roaming costs nothing extra, though the line under it says what it gives, since some carriers slow it down or cap it.
Our column is the cheapest plan we sell for that country of 7 to 10 days with 3 GB or more, read from our prices as the page loads, so it is always the price you would pay today.
We read every figure again each month. A figure we have not checked for 45 days comes off the page until we have.
