Staying connected while on the road

[Legacy Posts]

Most of us are into trailering because occassionally we like to "get away from it all". However there are some who are not uncomfortable checking e-mail once a day for news from friends and family, or to receive e-mailed message digests from a BBN like this one!!

I've been looking at solutions like this and seems Pocketmail (and the Sharp model TM-20 the service uses) is ideal. This is what the unit looks like,

The service costs $49.00 for three months, more here,

Works from any payphone, restaurant phone, cell phone or even satellite phones (for the techno snobs among us) :)

Bill, The TM-20 doesn't work with digital cell phones. Go to the pocketmail website for more info (they do recommend a newer device, the PocketMail Composer which is supposed to work with digital cell phones).

I've been using PocketMail for several years, and (alas) I have the TM-20 device... Even so, it's a great service. It really does work from almost any (land line) phone, although every once in awhile I hit a cranky pay phone that won't cooperate.

Of course, another drawback is it's just e-mail. No access to the www, which means no checking in on FiberglassRV.com. :nope
