If you are traveling overseas, you will need to have an international data bundle applied to your phone. You can do this before you go by calling Digital Island on 0800 999 010 and ask to add a Roaming Pack. NOTE: this will be charged to your department budget.
Please read this page for information on Data Roaming with Digital Island.

Ensure that the country you is part of the Roaming Pack countries. If it is not, then you will be charged standard roaming charges.
Data Roaming
Data Roaming is what can cost the most, if you have this turned on and you do not have a Roaming Pack.
If you are overseas, and you do not want to use Data Roaming, then you should turn off Data Roaming on your iPhone. To do this:
1. On your iPhone, go to Settings
2. Scroll down, choose Mobile Data
3. Choose Mobile Data Options
4. Disable Data Roaming
