= **Contact with Family, Friends & JPC** =

= Phone =
 * We bought an internaltional phone card before I left. It cost $10.00 to start with then my parents topped it up with $20.00.
 * This allowed my family to contact me on the dormitory phone a couple of times a week.
 * For $30.00 we got about 10 hours of talk time and my family also contacted family in USA with the same card. Great value for money.
 * The one we got was from a newsagent, click here for a link.
 * Similar ones can be purchased from the Post Office or Service Stations - Some have monthly admin charges and charge in blocks, we found paying by the minute was better value for money.

= Internet =
 * Every dormitory has a computer - even though I took my Netbook I was not able to use the school wifi. This was no problem as I used the computer in the dormitory to stay in contact with JPC teachers, friends and family. Gmail and Yahoo accounts are sometimes blocked at the school so I used my school email account (username@cofhs.lism.catholic.edu.au)
 * There is also a computer room at the entrance of the school, this is available for students to use before school and at lunch.
