At the start of this travel season, Uninor shares some tips that can help you stay connected with friends and family while travelling abroad and not burn a hole in your pocket while you do so.

Do's	Don'ts
Turn on your mobile phone when you arrive in a new destination. This is free.	Remember that you pay for receiving calls so don't expect this to be free as it is in India.
Receiving of SMS is free.	Remember that calling international Free Toll Numbers has a local charge which you will be paying for.
Remember to add "+91" in front of the number when you call your friends and family in India. The easiest way is to add this in front of the numbers in your mobile phone address book.	Data packages do not include data services abroad. This will be charged separately and it is advised to be careful when using data services as consumption in MB is difficult to measure.
Calling to a local number in the visited country will work with and without the country code.	Don't forget mobile charger device and possibly an adapter.
It is often 50% cheaper to receive a call than to make a call home to India.
Many applications in your smart phones automatically access data services. These include emails, twitter, maps and others. Make sure you turn automatic data download off, if you don’t need it, while travelling abroad.
Turn on your mobile phone when you are back in India to register in your home operator's network.
