Roaming charges
The size of these charges depends on which country you are actually roaming in as well as any "plan" you may be on.
1) avoid SIM-locked devices (a very restrictive, repulsive marketing idea) since then you have to accept whatever costs the carrier imposes
2) check roaming rates before you leave for each country you intend to visit
As an example, in Europe using the Internet for bits and pieces over 2 weeks cost me about AUD$20. Using much less bandwidth in NZ for 3 days cost me AUD$80; using miniscule amounts in the Phillipines cost AUD$130 for 3 days.
