If you have a GSM phone, check with your service provider to make sure it’ll work in your destination country. If you don’t have a GSM device, look into renting one.

]]> 86021 2 0 Tip People who try to reach you while you’re overseas pay for a domestic call, while you incur the cost of international roaming, even if it goes to voicemail.

]]> 86022 3 0 Step Activate an international plan Using your domestic plan abroad could quickly cost you thousands of dollars. Ask your service provider about a discounted international plan in your destination country.

]]> 86023 4 0 Tip Data usage in particular is where you can easily rack up a small fortune in charges. Ask about international coverage plans for email and web browsing, and choose the one that will best fit your needs.

]]> 86024 5 0 Step Make your phone an info center Use your phone as a traveling info center. Program in the international numbers, with international access and country codes, of your airline, cell provider, credit card customer-service line, hotel, and local embassies. Scan copies of your passport, credit cards, and other key documents, and store them in your phone. Also, sign up for real-time text and email updates from airlines and governmental agencies.

]]> 86025 6 0 Tip Pick a go-to person and enter their number in your phone under the name “EMERGENCY CONTACT.” Be sure to include the access and country codes.

]]> 86026 7 0 Step Get charged up In the U.S., electrical outlets operate at 110 volts. Depending on where you travel, you may encounter outlets with twice that voltage. Before you go, find out whether you need a voltage converter or just a plug adapter.

]]> 86027 8 0 Tip Consider power alternatives, like a solar-powered backpack that lets you charge while you’re on the move.

]]> 86028 9 0 Step Let your phone be your guide The lighter you go, the easier and less expensive it is to travel. Leave maps, alarm clocks, calendars, guidebooks, laptops, cameras, and language CDs at home. Instead, download digital guidebooks and PDF maps to your phone, or just use your GPS. Store MP3 walking tours & language lessons as well, and use your built-in photo and video options to record all the fun.

]]> 86029 10 0 Step Plan ahead Once you’re away from home, arrangements are infinitely more difficult and expensive to make. Plan ahead, take care of all these technology-related errands before you board that plane, and enjoy a hassle-free trip.

]]> 86030 11 0 Fact In Germany, a cell phone is known as a Handy; in Iceland, it’s a farsími; in Greece, it’s a kinito; and in Japan, it’s a keitai.
