Robert Young Pelton, the author of The World's Most Dangerous Places has written a short, yet informative, article for his column over at National Geographic Adventure that focuses on making phone calls from anywhere on the planet. He discusses using local phone lines and cell services in many countries, using satellite phones, and even using Skype to stay in touch. If you're making a trip abroad, you may want to give this a look and see what options you have at your disposal.
