I now have service through Cellular One, and was very surprised that I'm even getting a data signal down here in the basement!!! The other thing about SATs, is that you'll have to be OUTSIDE with an UN-obstructed view of the sky... and then if it's raining... that's another story all together.

It's true that they have their negitives, but they would work where I'm at. (Iraq) And, the way that I figure it, they could just sync up everytime they see the sats. So, it doesn't matter if you have to be outside for it to work. Anytime you go smoke, go to chow, or go to the head it can sync up to your eMail.
