If you use the internet abroad via your work phone or internet subscription, you could unexpectedly face high costs. When you are near Liechtenstein or travelling outside Europe and take your work phone with you, turn off your data roaming or prevent your phone will automatically connect to the internet.
If you are staying near Liechtenstein - for example in Austria, Germany or France - it is important to turn off your data roaming or make sure you do not automatically connect to the phone network by manually choosing a network of the country of your stay. If you are staying somewhere outside Europe, it is best to turn off data roaming and buy a local SIM card.
