In case your head's in the sand or you're left with no time to prepare, we've put together a mini guide of apps you'll want on your smartphone for BPM. They will both help you avoid costly roaming charges and provide important information.
The first is of course BPM's official iphone/android app. It allows you to "create your own schedule, maps, VIP Discount listings and [get] all the latest info on BPM."
Whatsapp. As most of you know, this app allows text messaging over Wifi, sort of like iPhone's "iMessage" but for everyone. Great always for communicating internationally.
The next, and slightly less well known communication tool, is Viber. This is like Whatsapp, except for actual phone calls. As with all communication apps, you and your recipient will both need the app, but the ability to make calls without eating up signal charges is huge.
Another intriguing communication app is Voxer, which is essentially a digital walkie-talkie on steroids. You can send pictures, smilies, etc. and all your "rogers" go over wifi.
Of course, to use these apps you will need wi-fi. To the best of our abilities, we will also be updating you on places in playa with access to the internets. Stay safe, stay cheap, and stay drug free! Or not. But definitely stay tuned.
