 My guess is that LV sends brief messages to them rather like

speaking Patronus) except that it's purely mental. LV doesn't have a 
Dark Mark, but the DEs Dark Marks link them to him.

****Katie:

Something that confunded me in DH was why Hermione, Harry, and Ron 
didn't even have ONE SINGLE enchanted DA coin between the three of 
them, for purposes of communicating with Neville and the rest of the 
gang. 

Hermione had been so well-prepared for their leaving, so thorough in 
packing...I really think she would have had her coin. I mean, she's 
the one who invented the danged things! And, if for some reason, she 
did not, wouldn't Harry or Ron have had theirs?

This seemed like something that could have been explained in one 
simple line, but wasn't.

Anyone else pick up on this? Katie
