Sarah McGarr, chief digital officer at the travel eSIM provider, said: “Everyone loves jetting off on holiday, but it’s evident people like to keep in touch with what’s going on back home and in the world around them wherever they are, and that they rely on data for all sorts of holiday essentials – from maps to translations to transport.
The research, conducted via OnePoll, also found 12 per cent of respondents have even ended up forking out for the cost of their child’s roaming charges, at £37.20 on average for a single trip.While 35 per cent are under the impression they can’t change network providers when travelling abroad.
The research also revealed how much data holidaymakers are using abroad, adding up to 3.7GB a day as typical usage for those who use their data roaming to stream films, TV shows, audio, make internet searches and video calls.
