Road Warrior: Staying Connected Safely

Traveling for business or pleasure generally means making arrangements to stay connected to the office, to friends, and to family. In the old days, we would use a hotel phone or a pay phone and a phone card, and, like E.T., we would phone home. Travelers today more likely will use their cell phone and, if traveling internationally, an international calling plan, or they may try to save some money by getting an unlocked phone and a SIM card for whatever country in which they happen to find themselves.
