We were able to get a new phone (iPhone!!). Thanks to Missionary Matt Allen. He is a missionary here in PNG that also
works in a remote area. He has access to
the internet using a satellite system of internet. So we asked him to look for a used iPhone on
the internet. He found one in his home
town where his brother also lives. This
brother was able to go and check out the phone.
Then there was a young man coming to see the Allens who was able to
bring the phone with him.
For those who may not know this: our only form of internet is the phone. The phone we had just one day decided not to
allow the internet to come into our phone.
Mark when he went to Port Moresby took it to the cell phone company we
use here but to no avail. After 2 hours
they could not figure out the problem.
Their only solution was you brought that phone from America and we have
been running into problems like this with phones brought in from the
states. So maybe it will work in the
states when we go on furlough? (The
phone side of it still works.)
We dream of one day having satellite internet that would
allow us to use our computers online and also do things like facetime or
skype. Maybe someday but until then we
will be thankful with our phones that
they allow us to access emails and usually get on webpages.
