<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dare I raise this question when so many are
obviously given to much higher considerations?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What is the phone system like along the Camino?
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Are there plenty of public phones?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Do they allow direct dialling to
overseas?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can they be operated using prepaid
cards?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have considered carrying a mobile GSM phone. Is
the network coverage adequate?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I do not assume coverage. My mobile is quite
useless in my own home here.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But how would I recharge the battery? Are there
power outlets in the refugios? Do men use electric shavers?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What voltage is used? I am told that Spain uses 220
and 110 in various places.</FONT></DIV>
