Some banks will contact you over such 'remote' usages. And if they can't contact you they'll put out a 'seize & destroy' order on the card. Happened to me a number of years back. Strangely it never seemed to occur to the bank that the same circumstances (usage in 'remote' areas, unable to reach the card holder via phone) fit someone on vacation at least as well as someone who's card (or card #) has been stolen.
