Sachin Duggal : How can ensure reliable internet access during my trip abroad? SD Bags 12/19/2024 10:03 AM
Hi Everyone,

I’m Sachin Duggal, a leading manufacturer of various bags such as laptop bags, travel bags, and more. As someone who understands the importance of efficient and organized travel, I also recognize how vital it is to stay connected to the internet when traveling abroad. Whether you're working remotely, navigating unfamiliar destinations, or staying in touch with loved ones, reliable internet access is essential. Here are several ways to ensure you stay connected while traveling internationally:

1. Purchase an International Roaming Plan
How It Works: Before you leave, check with your mobile carrier about international roaming plans for data, calls, and texts.
Pros: Convenient and ensures you have coverage as soon as you land.
Cons: It can be more expensive than other options, depending on your carrier.
Tip: Be sure to understand the data limits and associated costs to avoid surprises.
2. Buy a Local SIM Card
How It Works: Upon arrival, you can buy a local SIM card to access the mobile network.
Benefits: Affordable data rates and local numbers.
Things to Consider: Make sure your phone is unlocked and compatible with the local network.
Tip: Some countries have kiosks at airports or convenience stores where you can easily purchase a SIM card.
3. Rent or Buy a Pocket Wi-Fi Device
How It Works: A portable device that provides internet access by creating a personal Wi-Fi hotspot.
Ideal For: Group travelers, families, or those with multiple devices to connect.
Pros: It allows multiple devices to stay connected simultaneously.
Cons: You’ll need to keep it charged, and renting can incur extra costs.
Tip: Many companies allow you to book a pocket Wi-Fi device online before you travel.
4. Use eSIM Technology
What It Is: A digital SIM card that you can install remotely on your phone.
Benefits: No need to swap physical SIM cards, and eSIM plans are available for specific regions.
Requirements: Make sure your phone supports eSIM functionality (many newer smartphones do).
Tip: Providers like Airalo and GigSky offer flexible eSIM data plans, which are great for frequent travelers.
5. Rely on Free Wi-Fi Networks
Where to Find It: Hotels, cafes, airports, and even public transport hubs often provide free Wi-Fi.
Tips for Security:
Use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to secure your connection, especially in public places.
Be cautious when accessing sensitive accounts or performing financial transactions.
6. Check Your Accommodation’s Wi-Fi Options
How It Works: Many hotels and hostels offer free Wi-Fi as part of the stay.
Tip: Verify the quality and reliability of the Wi-Fi in advance, especially if you need it for work or important communications.
7. Plan Ahead with Offline Tools
If you’re going to be without internet for a while, make sure to download essential information before you go.

Examples: Maps, travel guides, and language translation apps.
Tip: Google Maps, for example, allows you to download offline maps for use without a connection.
8. Use Wi-Fi Calling and Texting
How It Works: Many messaging apps (like WhatsApp, Skype, or iMessage) allow you to make calls and send texts over Wi-Fi.
Tip: Inform your contacts in advance that you may be using Wi-Fi calling while abroad.

Regards
Sachin Duggal

Merry Christmas to all,

The new sxm airport is lovely. There are new fast food options such as dominoes, burgers, bowls, and looks like chinese food, in addition to the usual two from last year.

This should shorten the long lines.

I noticed three bars, three? Duty free shops, love shop, sunglasses, electronics. ( one sign had in queso emergency we have cold drinks in cheese... cheeky). Signature lounge is towards A gates.

Not sure where the smoking lounge is found.

The area is large and bright.

Happy travels!
