Travel Tips # 5: Decide about cellphone coverage. Most cellular providers offer international calling plans, but before purchasing one, consider what your real needs might be. Plans can be costly, and coverage can be sketchy. It’s often cheaper to text messages instead, avoiding high roaming charges. If you want the phone primarily to make local calls while abroad, you may be better off buying or renting a cellphone once you arrive. Airports have kiosks for this, and the phones can often be returned simply by dropping them in the mail. While inexpensive, bear in mind that making international calls on these phones can still be pricey. Download all 151 Travel Tips: buff.ly/1uswaTX
