10 Ways to Stay Connected While on the Road
For the frequent traveler, staying easily and cheaply connected to home can be as trying as sitting through that Adam Sandler movie on the flight over. Know, however, that you have options. Here are 10 gadgets and money-saving tips that should make keeping in touch with the office or family back home just a bit simpler
Novothink's Surge
One thing's consistent no matter your cell provider: it's hard to make calls when your phone's dead. Travelers who are constantly on the go and away from electrical outlets can try Novothink's Surge, a solar-powered charger that fits directly onto the back of Apple's iPhone. Leave it in direct sunlight for about two hours — say, on the dashboard of your car as you drive — and the Surge will give your phone enough of a charge to allow you to make a 30-minute call. It's not nearly as fast or reliable as plugging the phone into a socket, but when a socket's not around, it's nice to have the sun.
