The long-awaited holiday season is fast approaching, and whether you\u2019re jetting off to the Maldives or having a big Welsh road trip your mobile phone<\/a> needs to be protected during your travels. Here are 8 top tips on how to look after your phone on holiday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid Extreme Temperatures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve all seen the ever-so-dramatic alert that pops up on our phones when it\u2019s overheated. An overheated phone can cause further problems such as fast battery draining and forced shutdowns. To solve this, avoid putting your phone in direct sunlight and instead tuck it away in your bag whilst you are venturing out on the town. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be Cautious of Public Wi-Fi<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Although public Wi-Fi can be convenient, especially abroad, you should be cautious about the networks you join. Some public Wi-Fi networks are unsecured and vulnerable to attacks from hackers who can steal your personal information. A way around this is using a VPN to secure your data. VPN apps are available to download on your device and are easy to use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make Sure You Have a Screen Protector <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some of us are more clumsy on holiday (or in general) when it comes to others. If you fall into this category then applying a screen protector<\/a> before travelling is a smart idea. These durable accessory gems shield your phone from any knocks and drops it might face!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ensure Your Tracking Features Are Turned On<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

 Making sure your mobile phone tracking features are turned on before you go away is important. This comes in handy if your phone is unfortunately lost or stolen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make Sure Your Phone is Backed Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tying to the above point, if your phone gets lost or stolen, backing up your device as a precautionary measure is the best way to secure all your valuable information and beloved memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid Putting Your Phone in Your Back Pocket<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Putting your phone in your back pocket is a habit to many, however, it\u2019s a habit that should be avoided on holiday. Pickpocketing aimed at tourists is extremely common, and if your phone is in your back pocket, thieves can easily access your device. If you want to keep your device safe instead pop it in a zipped bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get Travel Insurance\/Phone Insurance <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It might seem like common sense, but ensuring you have travel insurance that covers your phone, or simply standard phone insurance, before embarking on your journey can truly be a lifesaver in the unfortunate event of damage or theft while you’re away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider Getting a Local SIM Card<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Depending on which country you visit, there\u2019s always a possibility that you can be hit by extremely harsh roaming charges – as not all networks provide free international roaming. You can avoid this completely by getting a local SIM for the country you\u2019re visiting. With these SIMs, you can choose how many days you\u2019d like it to be active for (aka how many days you\u2019ll be away) and how much data you\u2019d like. This means you pay one set fee for the SIM and then you can use your device stress-free. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now you can set off on your holiday with all the knowledge you need for a safe and hassle-free experience with your mobile phone – Happy travels!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
