International travel is infinitely more difficult without a cell phone.

When I was younger and international roaming was expensive I travelled internationally without a phone. It’s possible, but it’s so much easier to do it with a phone. Later when I finally stopped being a cheap student and bought a data plan my trips were so much more efficient because I wasn’t losing so much time trying to figure everything out without a phone.

For international business trips, devices are mandatory. This isn’t even an option.
