What is a light stick?
Removing the need to use your mobile phone as a
light to read maps and directions upon arrival at
the coach station or airport, a light stick is an
easy-to-use, compact and disposable stick, that,
when snapped, will light for over 7 hours. Each
light stick has a shelf life of around 5 years,
giving you a piece of mind each time you travel,
and reducing your vulnerability to crime.
Which travel adaptor do
I need?
Check out the 'Quick Facts' section in 'Going
Abroad' for more information on country plug sockets
and voltage requirements. The plug
section also highlights the appropriate
country use. Please note that the adaptors provided
by Student jetPacks do not convert voltage. You
must never use these adaptors with an appliance
that is not designed to work with the local electricity
supply.
You will need a GSM mobile phone (cellphone)
that is:
1. compatible with the country frequencies, typically
dual/tri band.
2. not locked to a particular network.
Please refer to the SIM information provided online at Student jetPacks.
Is there an expiry time on the SIM cards?
Typically, you will need to make a chargeable call (i.e. send a SMS or make a voice call) within a 12 month period. For each SIM, please read the enclosed manual for further clarification.
Do I have to pay a deposit for the SIM/Oyster (travel) cards?
