The important detail is who is your provider and what plan you got from 
them. You have to ask them what are their fees while you are in the EU, 
and whether they have travel plans.

If they are too expensive the solution is to buy, either on Amazon 
before departure, or in the EU, a prepaid SIM card, and connect it as 
secondary SIM card in your phone, which I hope is dual SIM.

Otherwise, replace your normal SIM and tell your family your new number.

My preferred method is to install OSMAnd app, and dowload now the 
countries of interest.

With a proper secondary SIM card, you can navigate as usual.

Notice that the conditions of a card bought in one country of the EU 
might be different when you change country, so ask the merchant about 
that. There are agreements so that the cards work when changing 
countries, with similar prices (no roaming charges) but there are limits 
and some differences.
