In most developing countries you can buy a SIM card with a decent data plan for a very low price. If you rack up a huge roaming bill in this day and age you're simply an idiot.
You can do that anywhere. Still, roaming for data shouldn't be a thing, it's a scam. Your internet is just routed through the local telco and there's really no extra cost for that data.
