Many of you should have experienced this situation before. When you travel abroad, one of the most difficult problem in preparation would be internet connection, especially when you plan to travel to multiple countries.

Although many countries have free public network available for connection, it can put you at risk related to data loss. Many of our respondents have reported encountering this situation before. A research shows that close to 50% of Americans regularly use Wi-Fi hotspots to carry out financial transactions, while 18% use public WiFi to work remotely.

When you connect to public WiFi, hackers can spy on you, steal your personal information and passwords, or even take over your online accounts through public network’s lax security. It’ll seriously affect your life, money, or even cause you to LOSE JOB! Besides, public WiFi in some countries is very slow, difficult to meet basic network needs.

Another option, which can be safer than using public network, is preparing a SIM card. As a personal network, it can greatly help you avoid hacker intrusion. However, it still has frustrating drawbacks. These cards work only in the countries where you bought them and the price is usually expensive. You need to use it carefully and pay attention to whether you are out of data.
