SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM OF ACCESS INTERNET
One of the biggest problems for people who travel a lot by boat or trailer is the difficulty of finding a good Internet connection is constant and everywhere we go. Most marinas and campgrounds have an inadequate system whose service ranges from difficult to use and totally unusable. Those who provide internet service through a professional server load up to $ 50.00 per week. Parks Americans generally have a system that works well but you have to drive to the office in order to receive the signal and read our emails.
After considering all available options, I decided to get the Key Bell Turbo. Bell Turbo key allows you to navigate at high speeds almost anywhere. Simply insert your key into the USB port of your laptop.

Not wanting to sign long term contract, I just bought the contraption for about 200.00 $ and I pay for my use in my monthly volume of usage. See the table below cons.

Data used in a month and monthly fees
Up to 500 MB $ 35

1 GB to 3 GB $ 60
3 GB to 5 GB $ 70
Use excess of 5 GB: 5 ¢ / MB
• One-time activation fee: $ 35
The beauty of this system is that I now have access to high speed internet anywhere there is a signal for cellular Bell (which means almost anywhere) even when we stop in a rest area on our way. I already use it for two months and I can make sure it works very well. Moreover, if the Internet is where we are free I can always connect for free on another server.
Since I now have a good signal I can use Skype much more frequently to reduce my long distance calls and my cell phone charges. If I do not anticipate using the Turbo Stick for a few months, I have only to suspend the service myself by going to my home page on the Internet.
SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM OF TELEPHONE
We had to use up to three cell phones in the same year to meet our needs. One for Canada, one for the U.S. and one for the Caribbean. We always have a cellphone American and one Canadian. The Canadian phone is very expensive (about $ 130.00 per month) because we are still outside of our region and we have to pay huge fees for incoming calls.
I had read many positive articles and seen many advertisements on MagicJack and I finally decided to order that other thingy last month. It is now installed on my computer and it works very well. Both links explain very well following the operation.

You read it only costs $ 29.00 per year to call n 'anywhere in North America. We were allocated a telephone number with our Canadian area code (450) and we have a voicemail. We can now use our home phone anywhere we provided you have internet access and our Turbo Stick Bell now gives us access to the Internet anywhere in Canada. I will buy probably a key U.S. supplier of Internet when we are in the U.S. next winter. The costs of that cell will save more than cover the costs of these new devices. We obviously keep a cell with minimum rate for an emergency.
