If the advent of cellular telephony issues of access to the phone has been largely overcome, however, remains that of the mail delivery on hold.
In fact, when you are about to change domicile, one of the first requirements is to communicate the change to all entities with whom we have relationships bureaucratic, but this does not eliminate the problem of the correspondence has already been sent, not to mention that you can not forget some secondary reference.

Service delivery at
