FACE it: many business travellers are utterly dependent on their smartphones. But taking a smartphone on an international business trip can get complicated—and expensive. If you don't have a company phone that's already set up for international travel, or you simply want to bring your personal phone with you when you travel abroad, it helps to know a few things. Here's a rundown of how to use your smartphone abroad without paying a fortune:

Before you travel, research cellular carriers in the country you're visiting. Ask friends who live there what services they use. Dealing directly with local carriers will be almost invariably cheaper than taking your existing service with you. Depending on the country, your friends might even be able to pick up what you need: a subscriber identity module, popularly known as a SIM card, tied to a local carrier. Different phones take different-sized SIM cards, so make sure you know which size your phone takes.

When you arrive at your destination, simply buy a local SIM card at the airport or a convenience store. In most countries, you'll just need your passport. Make sure it supports data for your smartphone. Since you did your research beforehand, you're sure to get a good price. Pop the SIM card into your phone, and save your normal one to pop back in when you get home. Activate your service and you're good to go.
