| Essential? | Yes | No |
| Pro Tip | Activate it before travel, keep the existing account number after changing SIMs and verify changed payment requests outside the chat. | Install it only for a verified contact. A Facebook page or chat profile does not prove that a seller or ticket agent is legitimate. |
