Pacific Communications
Not strictly aviation, but I hope it'll be allowed.
I've got a son about to journey from UK to The Cook Islands and Tonga for some Medical studies. Like his Dad, he's hooked on advanced electronic communications to keep in touch with family and friends.
Problem is, being a student, his mobile 'phone is a bit restricted on the grounds of cost. His Airtime supplier is Orange and they don't seem to reciprocate with a supplier "down there". I could add him to my Vodafone contract if needs be.
What would be the suggested/ recommended way of hooking up a laptop to Cyberspace for the purposes of sending e-mails and setting up NetMeeting video links. Are there Cybercafés where you can hook up your own laptops?
Got be something better than a note in a bottle. I'd be grateful for some local knowledge and advice.
