What it's good for
Both directions
One button each way, so a conversation goes back and forth without handing a phone to a stranger.
44+ languages
Enough coverage for most travel. Check your specific pair before a trip — coverage is not uniform.
Not your phone
A dedicated device you can hand across a counter, and it isn't your unlocked phone with your photos on it.
