02
Before boarding
Save the activation details
Keep the QR code, provider help page and order email available offline. Do not rely on a new app download at the airport.
03
On landing
Connect and check the data line
Enable the travel line, confirm data roaming if the provider requires it, and wait for the local network registration.
04
First 10 minutes
Test one essential service
Open a map, send a message and load a low-bandwidth page. A quick check catches a wrong data-line selection early.
05
First hour
Keep a low-tech fallback
Save your hotel address in the local language and keep a small cash reserve. Connectivity is useful, but it is not your only plan.
06
After arrival
Review usage after day one
Use the remaining data and hotspot allowance to adjust your routine before a longer train or flight day.
