Actually, a valid argument can be made about Elves being telepathic. If you re-read the last chapter or two of Return of the King, when Galadriel, Elrond, Gandalf, and the others are traveling to Imladris from Gondor, on the way, Galadriel, Celeborn, Elrond and Gandalf speak to each other with their minds. The text specifically says that they seemed like grey statues by the roadside, speaking to each other mind-to-mind. So, it is possible, and since Frodo is the Bearer of the One Ring, and Galadriel is the Bearer of Nenya, they could probably speak mind-to-mind. After all, doesn't the One Ring give the Bearer dominion over the others according to his/her measure? Since Frodo is nowhere in the league of Sauron, the power that he received was the ability to converse with the other Ringbearers mind-to-mind.
