Actually, wired telephones were available if you had the money. AM radio broadcasts were also available. Although citizens band in the modern sense was probably not around, there were ham radio operators at this time. Radios and other electronics used vacuum tubes. Many rural areas were not yet connected to the grid; but they had batteries and generators.

They Communicated by making their own type of Sign language, not to confuse you with the one used for deaf people but a language that was formed by using certain symbols. For instance, if a hobo drew a Cat it would mean a kind lady lived there. or if they drew a circle with two arrows going across it in the center, it ment danger or that you should leave right away!

What was happening during the Great Depression?

Bear with me if this answer is kind of long, im just not quite sure what your asking. The Great Depression started in the majority of the country in 1929. It is by far the worst financial crisis Americas ever suffered (in my opinion anyways). The Depression not only hurt us causing crime and poverty rates to go up, but international trade and other countries were hurt as well. Also, debate rages on still today wether FDR's "New Deal" (what we would call a stimulus package) helped or lengthen the period of recesion.
