You will receive an emergency contact sheet prior to your departure for Italy that includes phone numbers for the hotel, our hosts, and Global Volunteers' business and after hours phones. Be sure to leave a copy with anyone who will need to reach you.

There will be phones and faxes locally available for you to use for international communication. However, using locally purchased phone cards is usually cheaper than calling directly through the hotel.

There are one or two Internet cafes in Ostuni, Monopoli, and Manduria, though they are not all within easy walking distance.
