As a Catch All for Things You Need
You honestly aren’t using your phone to its full advantage when you’re traveling. There are tons of things you can use it for to help you save money!
- Use Google Maps instead of buying a map for your road trip.
- Make sure you use up the Internet hotspot on your phone before you pay for WiFi.
