International roaming rates vary depending on your home network roaming agreement with each international network. It can be as much as 300% more expensive than using a travel SIM and, not only do you pay for outgoing calls, but you also pay for incoming calls and voicemail retrieval. Since cross-network billing is delayed, an international roaming bill can reflect as much as 2 or 3 months after your return.
