The large carriers (AT&T, Verizon) will allow you to use you phone as a wifi hot spot. Basically like the wireless router in your house. In fact I believe there has been legislation or new regulations recently that bars them from making it a option. Everyone with a capable phone can become a hotspot but you still pay for the data usage (which can be high). That would enable you wife to use her laptop or whatever she uses to do her authoring thing like she were at home. Granted it is likely to be a little slower. It will only work where you have cellular coverage and of course there will be a cost associated with being out of country. You need to check with them about using your phone and continuing data access while abroad. If no cell coverage, put the novel down and relax for a while.
Best of luck. sounds like fun From: CnC-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Indigo via CnC-List Sent: Sunday, July 12, 2015 12:16 PM To: [email protected] Cc: Indigo Subject: Re: Stus-List Internet access on charter boat Some overseas friends of ours who are visiting just bought a SIM card for their IPhone that gives them a U.S. Telephone number, unlimited calls and data access (not sure if the limit on data) for a specified period. They took 30 days. It's possible that you can buy a similar "plan" in Berlize. You might want to check with your U.S. Cellphone company if your phone needs to be unlocked before you go overseas. -- Jonathan Indigo C&C 35III SOUTHPORT CT On Jul 12, 2015, at 11:42, David Knecht via CnC-List <[email protected]> wrote: Hi- We are planning a January charter with friends in Belize and have never done this before. My wife is an author and might need Internet access while we are on the boat, and I am sure there will be times we are out of any local network. What are the options for internet access in remote areas?
