| Can
I use my mobile 'phone? |

Sudan
has an agreement with the UK for roaming facilities but
you will need to check with your mobile phone company
to make sure that your mobile phone works abroad. Failing
this, SIM cards are readily available in Sudan for USD
50. If you wish, this can be arranged with us beforehand.
For a
small cost, the Captain of the Ship will allow you to
make an odd call or two if needed.
Depending
on where the ship is, mobile signals vary.
