Question

What do you think the better smarter way to be connected wen we are abroad?

Answer 1

pre-paid sim cards.  if you have a gsm phone, you can simply swap it out.  grocery stores like Migros and Coop carry their own house brand sim cards.  but my last visit to Switzerland, i found that Swisscom sim cards at the InterDiscount stores were surprisingly cheaper than the Migros/Coop brands.  texting is easy and cheap; i think it costs the same whether you text within Switzerland or to an international number.  anyone who calls you at the number is also a free call for you, since you don't pay to receive.  it's a good way to be connected to friends at home and also have a physical number for local people (e.g., hotels, tourist info) to reach you.

Answer 2

Cellphones.

Answer 4

online via internet

Answer 5

If I am understanding correctly you are asking for opinions about how to stay in contact with friends and family while abroad.

The internet is by far the easiest and cheapest way to stay connected.  There is a telephone that you can purchase that you can plug into your computer and you can talk on the phone over the internet and it allows international calling and you only have to pay for the internet.
