Right, so when I'm trekking around, say, rural Bolivia or even just trying to navigate the Tube in London, data is precious, yeah? I need an app that sends texts without costing a fortune in roaming charges. 'Messages - SMS Texting App' works a treat for that. It's basic, but that's what I love about it. It just sends texts, doesn't try to be all fancy with GIFs and whatnot unless you want it to. Plus, it's from Battery Stats Saver, so you know it's not going to drain your battery while you're out exploring. I've used it all over Europe and even in parts of Southeast Asia where the Wi-Fi is dodgy at best, and it's always been proper useful. Doesn't try to download loads of stuff in the background, which is a massive win in my book. Seriously, if you're a traveller, get this sorted!
