Phone and data tips
- Ride-hailing apps like Grab and Bolt are widely used in cities and need data to book rides.
- Cafes and hotels in tourist areas usually have Wi-Fi, but coverage on boats and remote islands can be patchy.
- Beach days mean a lot of photos and videos. Save the uploads for your hotel Wi-Fi.
