The biggest risk is an unexpectedly high bill. Modern Smartphones are regularly connected to the Internet (for example, to check for new mails). Who then no mobile internet subscription has been sitting, often pay a lot more.
Moreover, mobile internet, like telephoning abroad, a lot more expensive. Fortunately Europe this summer maximum rates imposed for data roaming. So you pay within the EU up to 70 cents per megabyte (excluding VAT). Outside Europe, switch your mobile web best from your mobile device, unless you really need it.
