With the holiday season approaching, the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has advice for travellers on avoiding "bill shock".
Unexpectedly high bills are easily racked up while using a tablet or smartphone overseas.
With some Australians returning from their travels with a phone or data bill that almost costs the same or more than their whole trip, here are useful tips for travellers before you go abroad.
The ACMA last week released a consultation paper on a draft Standard for mobile roaming that would require telecommunications companies to:
* warn consumers they are roaming
* provide country specific information about the costs of calls and data use when they switch on their mobile telephone overseas.
