communications

i was here for couple of weeks few months ago, at that time i couldn't care less with how these guys here communicate with their love one back there in motherland.
now i know its not that simple...apart from emails and office phone facilities which sometimes loaded with ques, internet data plan was another alternative available.
but as i mention previously the condition is not fully matured yet, so setting high expectation oftenly resulted in devastation. ok, that is exaggerating..
there are 2 mobile telco services in these area. MTC (MTS) and i dont remember the other one. i'm using MTC with voice and data plan. data plan cost about usd30 for 1.5 gb...yes, thought digi and maxis and celcom is expensive? that for prepaid, not postpaid available. MTC is popular since expatriate can subscribe to it, the other one is not open for gaijin.
well, since most of us here at camp site using mtc, the bandwidth would sometimes overloaded and often spending time refreshing the pages to no avail.
i tried using skype to communicate to my wife, did not succeed, i think the goverment here restricted skype access. so i have been using whatsapp to communicate with her, which most of the time is unable to connect.
with 4 hours different, its kinda hard also.
its only been a week and i ramble a lot bout condition here..
update: i can use skype with office internet after office hours... BlogBooster-The most productive way for mobile blogging. BlogBooster is a multi-service blog editor for iPhone, Android, WebOs and your desktop
