I have numerous con-calls that must take place daily, is there a relatively inexpensive way to receive and make business calls, while keeping the same cell phone number? Many of the international plans are very expensive, especially with the roaming fees. Does anyone have any recommendations for working remotely, specifically related to phone calls?

I'm currently setting up a blog with guides to jobs that offer the "work wherever" lifestyle - I think it can be a lot easier than most people think!

Having worked in the IT Industry for over 6 years now I know just how much more reliable a good quality computer is. We are always fixing the cheap ones, the more expensive ones we never see for fixing. Great tips Anna and along with Anil I agree.

We've learned this the hard way by traveling through countries with very bad internet connections. You can prepare everything offline, but it doesn't mean anything if you can't post it or send files to a client. I can't say enough about backing up data often and in multiple locations. If you're going to be moving around a lot, your gear is going to get bounced around a lot. We've had two laptop hard drives fail on us in the last three years.

When you're remote, you have to be able to communicate and without access, you might as well be unemployed. For me, the key to working from anywhere is reliable high speed internet access.
