What To Do With Your Cell Phone When Traveling Internationally

How can you use your phone in another country? What is the best way to make phone calls when abroad? Kristin answers listener questions about what to do with your cell phone when traveling. Plus, she answers questions about travel insurance and showing proof of return travel when traveling on a one-way ticket. 

 

Questions Answered: 

• If you buy a SIM card in each country you travel to, does it mean that you never have a fixed number, in each destination it changes?

• Do you have one phone for local calling, and another for international calls?

• How can you use WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger if there's no Wi-Fi nearby?  

• When you buy a ticket to a destination but you don't know how long you have to stay, should you buy a one-way ticket, a round-trip ticket, or a one-way ticket to another destination?

• Do you have to buy a round trip ticket entering and leaving the same country, or can you buy the entry ticket for one country and the exit ticket for another?

• What type of travel insurance do you recommend? Is it better to use credit card insurance or buy a separate policy?

• What's your opinion about digital nomad co-living and remote work communities like Remote Year and WiFi Tribe?
