Martha,

I travel almost a third of the time since I mostly retired two years ago. It is rare that I can't find a local phone number to access from even the most obscure locations. I use aol and/or AZweb, but it seems like most service providers today are everywhere.

In the rare instance when a local number is not available and I need to keep in touch, I use a OneSuite phone card and pay about 3 cents per minute.

You could use a cell phone, but that seems like a costly and slow way to go.

I still haven't figured out how to stay in touch when I am camping in the wilderness. Not even a cell phone would help there and I don't own one anyway.
