The Voice of Saruman
This is interesting material. I wonder that no one has mentioned Saruman's ability to enslave the minds of others, through speech, over even great distances. It is by far the most obvious and explicit example of long-term long-distance communication sans palantiri. What makes this doubly interesting is that he does seem to communicate to these poor thralls through words, through language, through the power of his voice.
I will have to read those chapters over, again, with this in mind.
