How MyLine Works While Roaming

MyLine uses data for calls (VoIP), so while roaming:

• Over Wi-Fi: Completely free — no roaming charges, just like at home. Ideal for hotels, cafes, or airports.
• Over Mobile Data: Yes, but your carrier's roaming data fees apply. Calls use little data (0.5–1 MB/min voice), but costs add up if roaming is expensive.
• Offline Mode: No data needed — use local access numbers to call via cellular voice. But roaming voice minutes may still cost extra.

Potential Costs & How to Avoid Them

Roaming can be pricey — data often $5–15/MB without a plan. But MyLine itself doesn't add roaming fees; it's your carrier.

• Avoid Data Roaming Bills: Turn off data roaming in phone settings; use Wi-Fi only.
• Use eSIM for Cheap Data: Get a local or global eSIM (e.g., Airalo) for affordable data in the destination country.
• Carrier Roaming Plans: If needed, add a roaming add-on (e.g., $10/day for unlimited data).
• Offline Calling: For voice-only, dial local access numbers — uses minutes, not data.

Step-by-Step: Using MyLine While Roaming

1. Before trip: Update MyLine app and add credit.
2. Enable Wi-Fi calling in phone settings (if supported).
3. Arrive abroad: Connect to Wi-Fi for calls — no charges.
4. For data: Use eSIM or roaming plan; make calls over mobile data if needed.
5. Offline: Set up local access numbers in app for no-data calls.
6. Monitor: Check balance/history in app to track spending.

Common Issues & Fixes

• Calls Won't Connect? Check roaming enabled; switch to Wi-Fi or offline mode.
• High Bills? Disable data roaming; use Wi-Fi/eSIM only.
• Poor Quality? Use strong Wi-Fi; enable data saver in MyLine.
