mobile phones:
ensure you have international roaming enabled with your service provider and that your phone will work in destination.
consider de-activating voice message service to avoid international call charges for missed calls.
deactivate international roaming for data as this could bankrupt you!
strongly consider buying a pre-paid SIM card in the destination country, preferably one which includes some data (but this will mean you wont be using your normal phone number but it should save you lots of money)
don't forget your phone charger
