The internet gives you access to mapping, transport information, tourist guides and restaurant reviews. It can be a lifesaver, so connectivity is hugely important to many travelers. Here, we introduce the different methods of doing so. Public wi-fi networks are the easiest, and can often be found at cafes or transport hubs. SIM rental is an option, depending on what device you're using. You could also set up a personal hotspot, using pocket Wi-Fi.
Note: For details, visit the website of each service provider.
