Résumé

For better or for worse, technology has all but eliminated any excuse you might have had for not being in contact with your friends, family, and business associates, even when you're thousands of miles away from home or office. Using only your laptop and cell phone, it's now possible to stay connected from all around the globe. But do you really know how to use your gadgets to their fullest extent while traveling? And furthermore, do you have the right gadgets?

In this practical but lighthearted guide, globetrotting author Fred Johnson walks you through all things wireless-from getting online at your favorite coffee shop while you sip a latte, to learning the ins and outs of new wireless technologies like Bluetooth and MMS messaging. This slim, compact guide should be at your side.

Inside Global Mobile you'll learn:

What a cell phone's SIM card does-and how to swap it for a local card when you travel abroad
The advantages of sending text messages from your cell phone
How to connect to the Internet anywhere, using only your cell phone and laptop

Plus you'll get a handy list of international country codes, a dictionary of text-messaging shorthand, a guide to the countries where your cell phone will-and won't-work, a checklist to help you pack for your trip, and much more!
