Before the trip / the organiser
A little preparation.
For every phone.
- Check each person’s exact phone model and network lock.
- Match the plan and setup email to the right traveller.
- Keep those details available for arrival.
After landing / each traveller
My phone.
My own connection.
Join working Wi-Fi, then follow the setup email for your phone and plan. If airport Wi-Fi won’t work, use hotel Wi-Fi or another steady trusted connection.
See the setup guide →Same holiday.
Different directions.
A shared hotspot ties people to the phone providing it. If adults are heading to different places, plan how each person will stay connected.
A little handover goes a long way.
The organiser’s listMatch each plan and setup email to the person using it. Check the exact phone before buying.
