@Jujuprit  in order to use your device whilst abroad roaming needs to be enabled on your account. This is done by texting ROAMING to 150.    You need to do this before you leave the UK.  You’re only charged the day rate if you use your device.  If you receive say an email that is still using your device as it’s using data.   So if you don’t want to be charged put the device in airplane mode and use WiFi

Roaming means using your phone on foreign networks. If you want to make or receive calls, send or receive text messages, or use mobile data - this is all done by roaming.

If you only want to use WiFi-hotspots, then you don't need to roam/

What do you mean by your bill being high? Are there any charges on the bill that you're not sure about?
