<p>After many years of using complicated radio systems of varying degrees of complication and reliability, we have finally settled on a foolproof method for communicating callouts from top camp to base camp: mobile phones.

(In 2011 we tried using another proveder which picked up the T-Mobile network, however the reception was not as good as B-Free. &nbsp;B-Free&nbsp;has an annual renewal of the SIM which gets you the phone number and connection (plus some credit). More credit comes in the form of a card with a scratch-off secret number.</p> <p>We are using the "B-Free" mobile scheme.

The phone cannot be used in the last month, but renewal is much cheaper than starting from scratch.</p> <p>This has to be done in less than 13 months otherwise it costs a great deal extra (equivalent to starting from scratch).
