Wow, damn, I had been living here for almost two months and I had no idea there was a communication device all along.
Just to give you context, this world was set on that standard fantasy in a vague medieval era with swords and magic and whatnot. Rather than fossil fuel, they use magic stones in their technological path.

Ah, magical world. Don't you think life should be easier with magic abound? Absolutely not. Because where there was tangible power, there would be a monopoly of it. Especially in a place with a clearly had defined class system.
Knowledge, the very foundation of technological advances, was a treasure that was kept within the ruling class to maintain their power and superiority. Only after that knowledge and the technology were released to the masses could the technology grow rapidly.
As it was, the few magical technologies that existed here were only accessible to the upper classes—the aristocrats and the scholars.
