i spent six months backpacking in australia a couple of years ago. while over there, my parents had their phone number changed. but no one bothered telling me. it was a good three months before they realized i hadn't been calling them (i used to call every week). they finally dropped me an email with the new #. good thing i didn't get into any kind of trouble over there that would have required their assistance, financial or otherwise.
