Sms/text To Kokoda

[Brian]

Hi

I made a couple of very special mates when trekking Kokoda one and his family are very special to both my wife and I.

Whilst I have spoken by phone to my mate when he was in Moresby we have been waiting for the mobile phones to start operating in Kokoda as we all know now this has just happened.

I am not sure exactly how much it would cost us to phone a mobile in Kokoda what ever to talk for a while would not be cheap even for us just imagine how expensive it would be for those in Kokoda with their mobiles to phone you specially if they do not realise every second counts they would soon eat up their very limited funds.

My Kokoda mate and I agreed some time ago that when phones came on there that we would generally only send SMSs to each other this would reduce the expense of phone calls considerably.

We have now sent a couple either way I am unsure what it costs in Kokoda but using Skype here it is only costs 13 cents for each SMS to Kokoda.

I would suggest that other Ex Trekkers who may want to keep in touch with friends made whilst trekking consider the same as a SMS is a less expensive way for all to do so.
