I love GSM. I was able to pop my SIM card out of my US-only phone, pop it into a friend's tri-band phone, and have people reach me at my usual New York number with seamless lack of drama in Paris. It'd be nice if there were more/better SMS gateways, though -- I can't for the life of me send an SMS message to someone a few blocks away who has a Sprint phone (the system claims the message was "sent" but drops it on the floor), but to a friend's phone in London -- no problem, it's within the GSM system. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
