Communication while we travel.

I've wrote about this before and likely will again. There are many different ways to communicate while traveling, cell phone, with internet and cell calling, WiFi using many services, Messenger is our most used choice, but Snapchat is another that our grandchildren use, and it works good. You can message, call or video chat on both.

The key to all this is having cell towers that you can connect to. We learned that the Northwest Tell outfit in the Yukon has a monopoly on service, they let have others that "Piggy back" on there service, but if like us we have connection through ATT to Rogers, then our service doesn't get piggy backed to Northwest Tell.

I found this out by going to a Telus dealer in Whitehorse, and asking the questions. The woman there told me that northwest charges by the gigabyte, not like we are used to south. So no free wifi at restaurants, or pubs, only a few places you can get it, government offices, like information centers, and a few others associated with them. For us this was odd, at the RV park we got a slip for 1 gig a day. Had to go online and register for your free limited WiFi. At least we had some.

Traveling on the Stewart Cassiar highway we have not had a signal now for 3 days.

We realize how hooked we are on cell coverage as we travel now, when Polly say's to me "Google it," and we both laugh. We did alot of laughing yesterday, as we traveled and joked back and forth, singing stupid lyrics, and just being sill with each other. Was a fun day. Who needs the internet? 😊

We do like the connection, but can exist till we get closer to cell towers. For now I write here in my phone, and save for the days we have the service, and take the time to post.

Love this off the grid kinda travel. 🤗♥️
