Travel with ease under the Sun

MANILA, Philippines - It’s summer and everyone is raring to go places with the barkada, swim with officemates, or vacation with the family. Organization is the key to ensure there are no wrinkles on your plans. Here are helpful tips from Sun Cellular.

Before the trip:  

1. Organize. Focus on the essentials instead of the little things, which you can just buy in a convenience store or the resort shop. A quick checklist: cash and credit cards, food and beverage, clothing, first-aid kit, and prescription medicines, toys for kids, and handy gadgets. Be sure to bring your Sun Cellular mobile phone with you, fully charged and loaded for calling and texting 24/7.

2. If you are visiting relatives, call ahead so they’ll know you’re coming.

3. Anticipate things that can cause undue stress, miscommunication and delays. Confirm attendance, meeting place, accommodations and time of arrival and departure. Having a Sun Broadband Wireless connection will help much in these pre-departure confirmations. Constantly e-mail, text or directly call all persons involved.

4. Tried-and-tested summer spots like pools, beach resorts and recreation parks are ideal choices to spend your summer. Just study your route ahead of time, get as many landmarks as you can, and have the contact number of the venue’s point person handy.

5. Ensure that your phone is fully charged, and that you have a car charger, and wall socket charger handy. Prepaid users should load up so they can stay connected with those they’ll be leaving behind. With Sun, you get many load choices to fit your needs.

Trip day:

1. Start early. Prepare all things you need the day before so you won’t be rushing when it is time to leave.

2. Bring your mobile phone, not just for your communication needs, but also to while away waiting time in airports, terminals, or even during your roadtrip/travel itself. Sun Cellular’s value-added services allow you to check your Friendster account using your phone through the Sun Friendster Mobile! You can also access your e-mail, compose, send and reply to electronic correspondence through the Sun Mobile Office.

3. Ensure that your home is safe and secure, and the persons left behind are responsible and well-provided for. Make sure to maintain constant communication with them with your Sun cell.

4. If traveling abroad, make sure you can be contacted by family, friends, and associates anytime through Sun’s international roaming services. Keep photocopies of your travel documents like passports, visas and IDs in your luggage. Store in your cell phone the contact details of Philippine embassies and foreign offices in your destination.
