We forget how much we rely on our technology when we travel but staying connected can make or break your next business trip. Here are some handy tips to ensure you’re always online. 

When you’re travelling, it’s important to consider how you’ll stay in touch with home and the office. Being in a different country may mean you need to be more attentive to what you carry on your person and how to ensure your technology works overseas. With that being said, here are some tips to stay connected whilst travelling.

Get Local Sim Cards

Local sim cards are important because they help ensure you get the right signal connection to make calls, surf the web and send messages and emails if required. Thankfully, there’s a lot of online options that help you get in touch with loved ones, colleagues and clients.

However, not all sim cards are created equal and you’ll want to have a local sim card for when you’re away from built-up areas and away from WIFI connections. Wi-fi not working? Then a sim card is going to be needed in order to ensure you’re connected and productive, no matter where you’re travelling.

Seek Out Wifi Info In Advance

Wifi information is something you will want to seek out and ideally know in advance. It’s important to do so because without that information you might have trouble getting connections in certain places. It’s always good when planning a trip, that you’ve scoped out the Wifi information to ensure that you’re going to be able to connect when you need to. Also, it’s important to be wary of wifi hotspots because these aren’t always safe and secure for you to use.

Carry A List Of Emergency Numbers

In the event that you lose your phone or the battery goes dead, a list of emergency numbers would be great to have on your person. We forget about just how much we rely on our mobile phones in order to contact people and find places whilst we’re out and about. With that being said, it’s worthwhile to carry a paper list of numbers so that if anything did happen to your phone, you could still get help or seek assistance at a local payphone or at the place you’re staying.

Emergency contacts are important to have and it’s worthwhile to give these emergency contacts to people who might be in your group or at your accommodation, for example, the front desk. This can be useful so that if anything did happen to you, others around you will have the means to contact loved ones in an emergency.

Don’t Forget Your Universal Plugs

Universal plugs are something people tend to forget to pack when travelling. However, they are one of the most important things to have in order to keep your devices charged and your connection with others stable. Whether you’re travelling domestically or heading overseas, it’s a good idea to always pack a universal plug in every piece of luggage you have – from your carry-on to every suitcase you bring with you. It’s necessary to do this because you might be in a position where something goes missing and it just so happens that your plug was in that specific bag.

When you’re travelling, it’s also important to consider how you’ll stay in touch with home and the office. Being in a different country may mean you need to be more attentive to what you carry on your person and how to ensure your technology works overseas. With that being said, here are some tips to stay connected whilst travelling.

Local sim cards are important because they help ensure you get the right signal connection to make calls, surf the web and send messages and emails if required. Thankfully, there are a lot of online options that help you get in touch with loved ones, colleagues and clients.

Keep Your Hands Free

Travelling and chatting isn’t easy, especially when you need to carry your belongings and you’re trying to keep a hand free to chat to loved ones at home. You could try hands free sets to free up your hands! Alternatively, if you’re travelling in London, why not take advantage of London Bridge luggage storage? That way, you can leave items you don’t need on you all of the time in a safe space, giving you less to carry and free hands to answer the phone when needed.

Staying connected when you’re venturing away from home is important so use these tips to stay connected and productive on your next business trip.
