My friend Andy Abramson is quite the global traveler. He’s always on the go and amazingly is always in touch while he’s out and about hopping from one city (or continent) to another.
To stay in touch, Andy utilizes a varied array of VoIP and mobile products that combine the capabilities of his Nokia handsets, Internet telephony, and access to Wi-Fi/3G connections. Check out his post where he goes through this set up. Keep in mind Andy is a PR man, so it may seem like he’s pimping his clients, but he discloses which ones are clients and those who aren’t.
Nonetheless, Andy provides some great insights into staying in touch for people who travel for work or pleasure.
