Take cell phone on trip?
Pavel writes:
For me, I have an elderly mother that I need to be in contact with in case of an emergency. It's one thing to leave your cell at home while on vacation but it's another if safety is a concern. However, I totally agree that a lot of people on vacation are not really on vacation because they bring their laptop and talk business. I think a better choice than a cell phone--which might not work at all--is to make sure that the people back home have the phone number of the front desk where you will be staying, and let the front desk know that you may need to be fetched in event of an emergency. |

Indeed, that's a given. However, I may be in town or on the beach....or worse, the hotel doesn't give me the message. |

Take cell phone on trip?
It depends on your cellphone provider and what kind of cell phone you
have. In addition, some carriers require you to set up "international roaming" at home before you leave. It sounds like you need a GSM [world] phone.
