Communication devices - what works and what do YOU need?


A regular those embarking on a big trip ask is about choosing the right communications for your travel plans. When do you need a satellite phone?  What other options are available?

A new expanded edition of Grant Nielsen's Staying in Touch on the Road is just out, with up to date communications and a whole lot more information for the Australian traveller. While the previous edition was free, with a donation to RFDS recommended, the latest electronic publication can be downloaded with a $9.97 payment, from which a donation will be made to the RFDS. 

This has been produced as a not for profit project in the interests of helping travellers choose devices that will work for them rather than find when they get to a destination that their mobile has no reception, or they have an accident on a drive or walk and cannot call for help. What will you need? How can you make it work better? 

This Facebook page tells more about Staying in Touch on the Road.  Facebook members, please Share

A must-have for all new travellers, and highly recommend for those wanting to keep informed about the latest technology.   

Staying in Touch on the Road can be downloaded here.

Travel safe.

 Smoke signals work for us, although it's a bit of a problem when there's a total fire ban.

 

Just kidding...... couldn't resist.
