Staying Connected

[To Scorpiosail Home Page]

Yesterday we arrived in Kuah, the main settlement of Langkawi in Malaysia. Our first task, having visited the offices of Customs, Immigration and Harbour Master, was to get new SIM cards for both voice and data communication. It has been a while since our last visit and our old Malaysian SIM cards had expired. This time we purchased 5 cards: two for dumb phones, one for a smart phone (Nokia Lumia 800) and two for dongles that we connect to laptops (Mac and PC). As usual, we bought cards from two different operators, in case one has better coverage in certain locations than the other.

The three most important things nowadays appear to be: connection, connection, connection.
