We really didn't have any type of communication like that. As far as I knew, we didn't. Our main contact was a local man who had connections in Medan, the capital of Sumatra. He came to the village two times a week and brought mail, fruit and things like that.

There likely were other communications available somewhere, I just wasn't in the loop on that. Our only communication to the "outside" were letters from home, at least as far as I was concerned.
