Before you go:
1️⃣ Ensure your phone is unlocked.
2️⃣ Purchase an adapter for Type 1 outlets.
3️⃣ Download messaging apps like WhatsApp to stay in touch without outrageous fees!

Don’t forget to store your original SIM card safely and bring your SIM card key along. It’s handy for switching back once you're back home! 🌏🔑
