Communication in the fallout series

Post » Tue Sep 22, 2015 5:28 pm

Hie all. This might sound like a silly question but oh what the heck! I have always wondered how people in the fallout universe communicate. Due to the war things are pretty much destroyed. how do they communicate? do they have Internet?

Radio (still works thanks to fusion) and talking face to face. In the west it's probably better than in the east.

Well, there are are radios. So yeah. There's also physical couriers carrying packages, which I assume have letters within.

The B.O.S have communications across the continent. As well as the NCR.

Posiedo-Net is [was] Poseidon Energy's global Intranet, but it's not really public. Enclave had access to it. The Pipboys are connected to it.

The radio seems to be the primary means of communication. But on a sad note, Ody's Pipboy got hit by an Overlord's Tri-beam and short-circuited. Now it only picks up TV station XEFB Chanel 3 in Monterrey, Mexico.

They have payphones, as well as standard letters. E-mail to an extent, as well. (The payphones are probably now useless)
