telecommunicate
Speak across distances
To telecommunicate is to communicate over a distance using electronic technology—telephone, radio, internet, or other transmission systems.
The word is a back-formation from telecommunication and appears mainly in technical or formal contexts: The satellites allow remote villages to telecommunicate with urban centers.
Most people simply say call, message, or connect.
