[pct-l] reception

[moodyjj at comcast.net]

There have been several recent threads on this subject, if you can find them in archives.  Also, look at Whiteblaze.net / PCT forum.  For just email, the PEEK sounds intriguing, and cheap.  I too am planning a thru in 2010 and am looking for a "device".  One of the best suggestions I've read is this - if you're traveling with a partner, one use Verizon and the other ATT, to increase your coverage. 

Good luck,

Subject: [pct-l] reception 

Hello, 

We are planning a 2010 thru hike and intending on bringing a smart phone or 
some other way of communicating via email. Any recommendations? and 
specifically, does anybody know the areas of the trail where signal is not 
available and/or have any estimates for the amount of time we would be 
without signal to check email? 

Thanks for the help!
