The Simplest Solution
Blue Water Sailing- February 2002
While there are numerous high-tech methods for sending and receiving e-mail from cruising grounds around the world, a relatively low-tech system offers cruisers an affordable alternative. PocketMail employs a simple minicomputer that interfaces physically with any type of telephone to send and receive e-mail over telephone lines. Messages are created and stored in the PocketMail composer's memory; when you find a phone ashore, you dial a local PocketMail number (In Europe, North America, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong) or make a long distance phone call to the main server in the U.S., hold the PocketMail composer to the phone and, presto chango, your e-mail is transmitted and received in seconds. The PocketMail composer is manufactured by Sharp and retails for about $100. Monthly charges run at approximately $14.95. For more information, contact PocketMail at 1-877-362-4543.
