Whether it's for business or pleasure, traveling experiences can be some of the best experiences. But you're usually only going to get the most out of your trip if you've put in the required preparation time first—and that includes making sure your phone is as ready to go as you are.
Wifi is more ubiquitous than ever, and you'll find it in coffee shops, bars, restaurants, and hotels—but you're still going to want to make sure that you can connect without it, and that means finding out what your carrier offers in terms of cellular data access abroad.
For example, both Verizon and AT&T will let you use your phone abroad like you do at home—for $12 a day. It's up to you and what your requirements are as to whether it's worth the investment, but make sure you've researched your options in advance.
eSIMs

Turn on two-factor authentication on every account where it's available (and use an authenticator app rather than SMS), and make sure everything is backed up and synced to the web as often as you can—just in case something should happen to your phone.
Tracking

Most streaming apps now do this, though it's usually a paid feature (as it is with Spotify). If you pay for YouTube Premium, you don't even need to pick what to download—there's a smart downloads feature that stores some recommended content automatically.
Translations
Make sure you've got the right languages downloaded. Credit: LifehackerIn Google Translate on Android, tap your profile picture (top right) then Downloaded languages. In Apple Translate on iOS, tap the three dots (top right), then Download languages. Don't forget to include both the input and output languages you need.
For me, the most usual phone accessory for travel has been a power bank, and there are a host of affordable options to choose from. Something like the $18 Miady 2-Pack is a good pick, giving you 10,000mAh of juice that can be delivered to any phone using USB-C.
VPN
A VPN can come in very useful when traveling.

Our guides to the best paid VPNs and the best free VPNs are worth checking for this.
Apps
Other apps are a bit more specific to certain use cases: Flighty (iOS), which we've recommended before, is excellent for staying up to date with flight times and delays, and it's definitely worth researching the best taxi apps for the places you're visiting.
