If you must travel to where the Internet is not, $2495 buys you a Nera WorldPro 1010 BGAN unit that can provide a data rate of up to 384 Kbps of internet connectivity & phone service in most parts of the world. The Nera unit seems to be 1 of the smallest & lightest BGAN terminals available. Some other BGAN devices are compared at this link.
BGAN airtime rates vary…$450/month buys 30 voice minutes and 100MB/month…for the truly wireless.

If I were to travel to a place without Internet, I think I’d just try to enjoy a few days without the Internet, as strange as that might sound to some people.
Many people have jobs that don’t afford them a 3-day escape from email, though.
