How to prepare your mobile phone for an overseas coach journey

Offline maps, roaming, charging, e-tickets and phone security whilst travelling.

Зміст статті

    When travelling, your mobile phone acts as a ticket, a map, a translator and a means of communication. Get it ready before you set off so you don’t have to rely on mobile data or power sockets on board.

    Save everything offline

    Download your ticket, insurance, bookings, accommodation address and a map of the city. Take screenshots of important numbers and your boarding gate.

    Communication abroad

    Check roaming charges, mobile data limits and eSIM availability. Turn off automatic downloads of large files.

    Power and safety

    Charge your phone and power bank, and take a working cable with you. Set up a screen lock and don’t hand your unlocked device to strangers.

    A quick checklist before you travel

    • Offline maps
    • PDF copy of your ticket
    • Roaming or eSIM
    • Power bank and cable

    Before you set off, check the current terms and conditions of travel on your ticket and the border crossing rules on official websites. You can find a convenient bus journey and compare departure times and prices on RedRay.
