Key facts

When traveling, getting mobile access is very important these days. If you are working remotely, wanting to update social media, or need to access your banks SMS authentication messages having a reliable service is a must. At WhereNext we recommend:

### eSIM 
Services such as those offered by our partner, [Airalo](https://airalo.pxf.io/5bekGn), allow you to easily order and install an eSIM for different countries or regions that you are traveling in. 

### Dual SIM phone
If you have a phone that supports dual SIM's then you can get a SIM on arrival for each country, this is probably better done at a telco store rather than at the airport. 

### Extend your home plan
Depending on where you live and your mobile service provider you may be able to extend your plan to cover mobile roaming at reasonable rates. 

### Keep your primary SIM
With the amount of accounts we all have that require two factor authentication via SMS, keeping a constant number for these accounts is a must.
