A simple phone that doesn't include all your personal correspondence can be a smart choice for many reasons.

The article from CNET emphasizes the utility of using a burner phone while traveling internationally. It highlights that a burner phone, which can be a cheap, unlocked device, allows travelers to avoid high roaming charges by using local SIM cards. This not only saves money but also enhances privacy and security, as burner phones can be used without personal identification and discarded after use. The article suggests that having a separate phone for travel helps in keeping personal and travel-related communications distinct, and it also recommends using the burner phone for two-factor authentication to further secure personal accounts. Additionally, the piece advises on how to set up a burner phone, including purchasing an unlocked phone, acquiring a local SIM card upon arrival, and installing necessary apps for communication and navigation.
