A connectivity checklist for business travel

Business trips put different demands on connectivity than a holiday — reliability for scheduled calls matters more than exploring on a whim, and keeping a clean expense record matters more than it does for personal travel. This checklist focuses on the connectivity side specifically.

Before you travel

• Install your BrisqNet eSIM before you fly, so it's ready the moment you land — useful if you have a meeting scheduled soon after arrival
• Size your data plan around video calls if you'll be joining meetings remotely, since these use noticeably more data than browsing and messaging
• Keep your regular SIM active for calls and texts on your usual business number, if your device supports dual SIM

Staying reachable on your usual number

Colleagues and clients calling your normal business number generally don't need to know you're travelling on a data-only eSIM — see our guide on keeping your normal number while using an eSIM for how this works in practice.

Keeping records for expensing

Keep your BrisqNet order confirmation and receipt for each trip's data plan — these are available in your account and provide a clear reference for expense reports, separate from any personal data usage if you also travel privately.
