Tech Travel Checklist: Ensuring Safety & Convenience On the Go
In today’s digital age, our technology accompanies us everywhere. From a short walk to global travels, our devices are indispensable. However, with this dependency comes the need to ensure they are both functional and secure. Before setting off on your next trip, consider our tech travel checklist to avoid the pitfalls of lost devices, forgotten chargers, or even data breaches.
1. Stay Updated with Essential Apps
-
Prioritize downloading necessary apps like those of your airline or hotel. Do this over a trusted Wi-Fi network before you embark.
-
If your journey is work-related, focus on apps that marry productivity with security.
-
Disable any Apps that you won’t need so you don’t use precious roaming data if not needed.
-
Download any movies you want to watch to your device so you can reduce the amount of data used, or accessing an insecure network.
2. Manage Your Cords & Adapters
-
Always account for all your chargers, and it’s prudent to carry backups.
-
If your travels are taking you abroad, a universal adapter is a must-have.
3. Ensure Continuous Power
-
Portable chargers can be invaluable, particularly in places where charging outlets might be rare.
4. Review Your Mobile Plan
-
As a mobile phone SIM provider, we have a range of plans and add-on roaming options if traveling internationally.
-
To keep in touch via the internet, VoIP apps are handy alternatives that avoid hefty international charges. Our very own CloudPBX UC is a great alternative to using cellular data for making phone calls back home.
5. Backup Important Data
-
Ensure safety and easy retrieval of your data with services that offer backup solutions for emails, OneDrive, and SharePoint.
-
Frequent backups offer peace of mind, allowing you to act decisively, say in the event of device theft.
6. Stay Alert & Aware
-
Always be on guard. This means dodging dubious links and consistently checking the security settings of your devices.
-
Setting up reminders or having someone to periodically check in with can serve as an extra layer of precaution.
