RAYA TRAVEL TIPS FOR MOBILE USERS
If you are going balik kampong for the Raya holidays or just staying in town but want to keep in touch with your friends and family, there are many ways you can save money and stay safe online when using mobile devices. Here are a few tips courtesy of U Mobile:
Save Money!
1. Turn off your data roaming when you go overseas so you don’t return to a huge unwelcomed phone bill. That is not the Hari Raya surprise you should be looking for.
2. A lot of Hari Raya greetings to send? Look out for free Hari Raya greetings services to send Raya wishes to your friends and family.
3. Time to reconnect and keep everyone posted. Internet is all around and if you have many friends and family to extend your Raya wishes too, embrace Twitter or Facebook! One simple post, everyone is updated.
4. Look out for free WiFi services in coffee shops and public areas when you need to go online to stop eating into your paid broadband data allocation.
5. For long calls to your loved ones, consider using applications like Viber, Skype and FaceTime! You will be surprised how much you can save on your call expenses. If you have friends and family abroad, look out for a package that offers the lowest IDD rate in town.
6. Better still, sign-up for a prepaid plan which gives you free SMS, calls and unlimited mobile data.
Stay Safe
1. When surfing using free WiFi services, be careful not to share important data with strangers. Turn off your Bluetooth so that you are invisible to those around you.
2. Protect your important data on your mobile phone by downloading free mobile anti-virus software which can also help to lock and locate your phone should it be stolen or misplaced.
3. Don’t leave your mobile phones, tablet PCs or notebooks unattended. Crafty thieves could be on the prowl during the festive season.
4. Keep your mobile devices away from your car’s windscreen and windows. One smash on your windscreen by a random robber and you will have to get a new device…. and a new window.
