The T and L Diaries

If you’re like us who have come back from holiday feeling relaxed… only to open our phone bill and feel our stomachs drop, you’re not alone. Roaming charges are one of those sneaky travel expenses that can turn a dream trip into a financial headache.

The Pain of Roaming Charges

It starts small. One quick Google Maps check to find your hotel. A quick Instagram upload of that sunset. A quick text to your friend back home.

Individually, they don’t seem like a big deal — but roaming charges can pile up fast. Before you know it, you’ve racked up £84 just for using your phone. Yes… this happened to us. We were both using our phones to work whilst we were away. We also scrolled through Instagram and other social media platforms.

For many travellers, it’s an unpleasant surprise that lands days or weeks after you return. That bill shock moment is real — and it’s not fun.

Our Search for a Better Solution

As we travel often we wanted to avoid ever running into this problem again. Our main priorities were:

• Affordable rates that don’t punish us for using our phones

• Coverage in multiple countries so we’re not juggling different SIMs

• Easy setup with no complicated contracts

• Freedom to call, text, scroll, and post without constant worry

That’s when we discovered Jetpac.

Why Jetpac Works for Travellers

Jetpac is more than just a eSIM card — it’s a travel companion. Here’s why it’s been a game-changer for us:

• ✅ Smart Pricing : Jetpac is a global travel eSIM. It is available in over 200 destinations. This helps travelers save up to 70% compared to telco roaming.

• 🌍 Widespread coverage: Works in loads of countries

• 📱 Full multi-network connectivity: Call, text, browse, and post with ease

• 🙌 Stress-free travel: No more mental maths before opening Instagram

With Jetpac, we can focus on enjoying our trip instead of worrying about our next bill.

How Jetpac Improved our Vacation

Jetpac was our saviour on our recent trip to Italy! Working from our phones can have its disadvantages. It is particularly challenging when you’re in the middle of Tuscany and the hotel doesn’t have good wifi. This eSIM enabled us to access our emails and socials. When we weren’t working, it helped us roam around with Google Maps. We checked out City Mapper for transport information and used other essential apps for traveling. Jetpac has a 4.7 Trustpilot rating and money back guarantee, which finalised our decision to use them.

Not only did the eSIM take our stress away, it also gave us a feeling of reassurance. This reassurance was because if we ran out of data, we still have access to Free WhatsApp. And Maps if we got lost, Uber if we needed a ride. Yes you read that right, an eSIM that still gives you the essentials when you run out of data.

The Bottom Line

Travel should be about experiences, not expenses. With Jetpac, we’ve swapped bill shock for peace of mind — and we’re never going back.
