When travelling you can use VoIP/skype easily with a softphone on a laptop and a headset/microphone and internal speakers. However the performance and quality of this VoIP solution may be poor and inconsistent.

You will require a fast internet connection at a wireless hotspot, hotel room, internet cafe or other venue.

There are many products available that will ensure high quality audio so your callers will not know where in the world you are. These are very handy for remote workers, road warriors, backpackers (internet cafes rarely offer high quality devices that allow for clear conversations with friends and family).

The Polycom c100s Communicator is a Skype certified professional speakerphone that offers the remote traveller a high quality audio conversation using their laptop or PC. The unit can be used with Softphones and can be used to listen to music or video audio when not being used for phone calls.
