Choosing the countries each person can use
A country list turns a family pool from money anyone can spend anywhere into money for the trip you agreed. Setting it takes a minute per person.
Each family member can have a list of countries they may get a SIM for. If someone asks for a plan somewhere else, PERDIEM refuses it and names the country, so you know exactly what to change. A person with no list can get a SIM for any country we sell.
Who needs a list
A teenager travelling with a school or a friend's family is the obvious case: the list is the trip, and nothing else. A grandparent who only ever visits one country is another. Adults who travel for work usually do better without one.
Trips that cross borders
For a trip through several countries, add every one of them, including the ones you only drive through. If the route changes on the way, you can add a country from the console on your phone in a few seconds, and the next request goes through.
Pairing it with a limit
The country list says where; the spending limit says how much. Together they describe the trip you agreed, and the console checks both before anything leaves the pool.
