The reason you
own a laptop is primarily to take benefit of its portability
feature. A laptop is a great tool when you travel, as it is
your main conduit to communication and access to the
Internet.
Connectivity
MaGlobe works well with both Windows and Macintosh operating
systems; and you can
download the relevant AutoDialer from this site. The
AutoDialer is a simple click and connect software, which
assists you to dial into all locations, without
having to remember any local phone numbers.
Using a
Cyber Cafe
It is not possible to connect your laptop in a Cyber Cafe,
which eliminates any chance of accessing the Internet when
traveling. In other words, to access the Internet from a
Cyber Cafe, you will have to wait in queue (in crowded
environments) and restrict your access of email to public
domains (Hotmail, etc.). This is counter-productive
especially considering that you are carrying your laptop and
have your own private domain email account.
Using
MaGlobe, you just have to connect your laptop to a phone
line (see Wireless for connecting to a Mobile phone) and
dial in to our local number and connect at speeds up to 56
Kbps, from the comfort of your hotel room.
Security
While traveling, you could always ask someone to forward your mails
by fax to your hotel. However, this exposes you to complete loss of
secrecy, as the mail can be read by all individuals who
handle it. This practice is proven to be one of the most
common
security leaks and can be completely avoided.
Service
from
MaGlobe will allow you to
receive your mail (with attachments), directly on your
laptop and ensure total privacy is maintained.
Asking
acquaintances for their local Internet access account
Individuals assume that it is OK to ask an acquaintance
for Internet access to use for a few days. Depending on the
situation, the person may or may not provide this assistance
to you. Most likely the individual will be reluctant to part
with the Username / Password, since you can then access
their personal mail.
It is an
undesirable situation to be in, especially if you put
yourself in the other persons shoes.
With
MaGlobe, you are independent and free to use the service
from any place that has phone access.
