looks like.

>To summarize the advantages of the Sharp TM-20 for use on a long-distance
hike:
>
>1. It will allow you to send and receive E-mail from virtually ANY phone
using an 800 number. Long-distance hikers usually encounter pay phones when
resupplying at even the smallest store and the Sharp can be used with a
payphone.
>
>2. Battery life is excellent, with 2 AA's lasting between 2 and 5 months,
depending upon usage.
>
>3. The unit is very lightweight, weighing only 8 oz including batteries.
>
>4. The unit has 384K of user memory, allowing LOTS of room for journal
entries, and well as lots of E-mail messages to and from family members and
friends.
>
>5. Every time a pay phone, or any other kind of phone is encountered,
journal entries can be sent off and E-mail exchanged with friends and family
at no cost, since you're using an 800 number.
>
>6. Total cost of ownership is very low for this unit. The Sharp TM-20
itself only costs $150, and the PocketMail E-mail service costs $9.99 per
month, or $99.00 per year, for UNLIMITED usage of their 800 number. It's
really a great deal.
