Help friends and family keep up with your hectic travel schedule: Tell your friends and family where you are currently located

Reduce high roaming charges. Tell friends and family about the fixed phones you use to reduce charges!

"It's really fantastic to be able to take a year off and travel the world with no cares! If only I could find a way of automatically telling all my friends and family in one go where I am and let them know the best way of contacting me? Wow, wouldn't that be cool?"

You've taken that once in a lifetime opportunity to take a gap year and back-pack around the world. It's all free and easy moving on from city to city as the need takes you, staying with friends in some places and working in others. Your biggest challenge is how to tell all your friends and family where you currently are and how they can contact you on any particular day. Using a mobile phone for long chats is probably not the best way to keep in touch because of the high international call rates!

Wouldn't it be cool to be able to use a service whereby you can tell your friends and family where you currently are, when would be the best time to call, and how they should contact you - maybe using the hotel's fixed telephone or that you are in an Internet cafe? All you need do is to subscribe, keep your profile up to date and invite all your family and friends to use the service - register now.
