Findings
A primary network path is selected.
A named primary path is better than solving telecom logistics at the airport while tired, carrying luggage, and trying to reach the hotel.
Evidence: internet-network-path-decision
Only one network path is prepared.
A single path can fail through roaming activation, eSIM install, local SIM registration, weak signal, hotel Wi-Fi login, or account verification. Keep a second path for the first day.

Foreign apps must still be tested on the exact path.
Installing an app is not proof that the service, login, message delivery, and MFA chain will work after arrival. Test the actual connection path, not just the app icon.

Offline survival kit is missing.
Save hotel address, booking, passport copy, transport instructions, payment-failure card, translation card, and source links before the phone path is tested.

The setup still needs a real test.
Test the primary and backup path with maps, messages, payment login, translation, email, and any work MFA before the first high-stakes ride or meeting.
