Believe it or not, we now have cell phone reception at our house in Malekula! A new phone company entered the Vanuatu market a few years back, and pledged to ultimately provide coverage to the entire country. Northwest Malekula was one of the last areas to receive a tower (currently only about 10% of the population does not have direct access), but now that we have we are all very excited. News of an impending cyclone will now reach us in plenty of time, and we’ll be able to stay in better contact with friends in Port Vila, Tanna and Santo. Too, we can now even receive phone calls from from the US while sitting on our front porch in the middle of a coconut plantation. Dial 011-678-569-1097. Long distance charges apply!
