GPRS mobile internet abroad

You'll be able to keep up with friends and colleagues using e-mail, play games online, book flights or hotel accommodation and find out the latest news while traveling abroad; all from your mobile phone. And because it's using a GPRS connection you will always be connected without having to reconnect to the Internet every time you go online so access is faster and cheaper than ordinary WA or GSM data service.

Use an Internet café

Almost every city and large town now has several Internet cafés. To locate one when you're abroad, just ask your hotel receptionist or a friendly taxi driver, you will also find Internet cafés in airports, railway stations, major hotels, public libraries, and even onboard cruise ships.

Before you leave on your travels, simply ensure you can access your e-mail via a web browser. (This is known as "web mail". Most ISP's offer this option automatically - just ask them if you're unsure.)

Alternatively, set up a free web mail address (at hotmail.com or yahoo.com) for the duration of your trip and give it to anyone who might need to contact you.

With web mail set up, all you have to worry about is remembering your email login and password. Everything else - hardware, connectivity, security - is somebody else's problem.
