Demanding job, does your .ING contract STATE that you have to be ALWAYS
in touch? Every motel or hotel or resort that I have EVER stayed in has
TELEPHONES. I simply make any calls I need to do every morning or evening
from the hotel I am in. I leave employers, family, friends, etc a copy of my
itinerary, including WHERE I will be each day and the phone numbers of my
hotels. That is a LOT cheaper than getting a cell phone and carting it
around.
