​Never Miss Paying a Bill When Travelling - April 2018

​I've been doing this for years regardless of where I was in the world. The following assumes that you have a smartphone. Firstly, make sure you register with your service providers (electricity, water, gas, phone etc.) to receive your bill electronically by email.  This way you can also check your accounts at any time. Don't forget to have the account list and remember your passwords. Best is to email the bill list to yourself, so you can access it anywhere, in whatever device and from the cloud. You can also set yourself electronic remainders in your phone, as soon as the bill comes by email. Then it is just a matter of having internet access, get into internet banking and always pay your bills on time. If you're overseas don't forget to switch off your data and only connect to the internet when you have free internet access, like in the lobby of the hotel, a public library or a friends place with wireless.  I only connect through my own device and never use public computers. I prefer to buy the equivalent of a $10 data sim card so I can have my own internet access, for security reasons.
