l8 or something" along on a journey can makes life easier for you with
applications like instagram and nairaland designed quickly to
entertain you at just one tap on your screen and also portable device
with great internet facility is likely one of the most essential tools
to carry.
Along with the convenience of choosing a phone over a laptop, here are
some tips to take to heart when travelling with a mobile device
anywhere in the world.
TURN OFF AUTO SYNC
Most mobile applications consume a lot of data when left to run in the
background but my phone doesn't do that,i have no idea probably
because of it large mah but you still have to turn off the 'auto-sync'
from the phone's settings page. If it requires frequent updating or
provides irrelevant news service, then that app should not be a
priority. There's also the added benefit of enjoying a stress-free
journey without the buzzing sound of a phone rattling everyone's
nerves.
SWITCH TO AIRPLANE MODE FOR FASTER CHARGING
In a hurry and need the battery-life to recharge at top speed?
Switching to airplane mode is the answer. With limited apps making use
of the dry-cell, chances of the phone battery getting to 100% is
higher. As an added advantage, get shorter cables – instead of long
ones – to reduce the travel time from the power source to the
smartphone.
BEWARE OF UNPROTECTED Wi-Fi
Checking into a hotel with free WiFi is great but if it's an open
space, then a little caution is needed. There are viruses and phishing
mails constantly looking for easy prey, so find out if the free
internet access a password or some two-step authentication process
required before logging in.
SIM CARD
Upon arrival at a foreign destination, purchase a local
SIM card. This way, roaming charges diminish and call rates are
cheaper. Plus, local network service providers constantly give
discounts on domestic SIM cards...
