If they have a landline phone that she can use, consider a call-back service as a backup. For example, Future-Nine is $0.013/min. to Taiwan fixed and $0.01 to the US, only $0.023 total. Calling you on your Callcentric iNum is $0.0164. Or, if she'll have access to a computer and landline, she can use Callcentric click-to-call.

If she will be traveling without her family being with her, give her an unlocked cell phone to carry for safety. Calls to TW mobile are not cheap, but it's a lot better than having no communication when needed.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Equipment-Any-IP-phone-smaller-than-a-Cisco-SPA-301-27878745 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 23:15:14 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Equipment-Any-IP-phone-smaller-than-a-Cisco-SPA-301-27878572
I'll probably just go ahead an order the SPA301, looks like it's only $53 on Amazon.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Equipment-Any-IP-phone-smaller-than-a-Cisco-SPA-301-27878572 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 21:53:17 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Equipment-Any-IP-phone-smaller-than-a-Cisco-SPA-301-27872738
Maps (ever wrestle with a paper map in wind/rain?)
Translation
Transit directions and schedules
Restaurant reviews
Learning about sights you are visiting and what is worth visiting
Skype (works in many situations where SIP is blocked)

She needs a cellphone for safety anyhow. With a local SIM, she can make and receive calls at reasonable cost, when VoIP is unavailable. If her present phone is locked to a carrier, this will save the hassle of getting it unlocked.

What countries will she be visiting? Staying how long? In a hotel or with friends? Will she be taking a laptop or tablet?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Equipment-Any-IP-phone-smaller-than-a-Cisco-SPA-301-27872738 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 02:56:07 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Equipment-Any-IP-phone-smaller-than-a-Cisco-SPA-301-27872737 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Equipment-Any-IP-phone-smaller-than-a-Cisco-SPA-301-27872737 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 02:54:00 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Equipment-Any-IP-phone-smaller-than-a-Cisco-SPA-301-27872684
So far the Cisco SPA 301 for ~$60 seems to be my best option. Is there anything else I should be considering? Smartphones/softphones are ruled out because she doesn't have one.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Equipment-Any-IP-phone-smaller-than-a-Cisco-SPA-301-27872684 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 01:29:52 EDT
