Editor's Notes
- international focus, subjective views through use and experience in the context of an extended overland trip - tired, busy (camp, navigation, foreign)
- fun, work....
- actually only one, it’s all data now passed over a network
- phones, radios, internet some overlap
- GSM is essential Talk to provider to
- GSM, 4G - LTE, agreed on global standard (more or less) Data, all digital blank areas - you need sat phones
- smartphone disadvantage usually locked, subsidy can’t easily get a replacement buy a local sim
- Iridium, most coverage, expensive Thuraya offers coverage based over the middle-east and Africa, and is expanding to cover more of Asia. pitiful data rates (2.4 kbps)
- all ham radios, NO CBs anymore IC-2200H $170 new PMR446 (in Europe) and FRS/GMRS (in North America) - cheap, presents, no problem if lost or damaged
- rules regulations laws could be confiscated forget about CBs HF and antennas - not practical due to workload
- filtering, speed, safety - keyloggers, etc. use your own machine.
- wifi and edge / 3g use local provider sim if possible or buy roaming data in advance hugely expensive if you’re not careful
- expensive ideal if you need comms voip service provided rent vs buy
