[pct-l] pocketmail setup

[Tortoise]

As far as I know, analogue cell phone service is no longer available.  
all the carriers have converted to digital (except maybe in a few spots) 
and turned off their analogue service by Feb 2008. so carrying an 
analogue only cell phone is about as useful as carrying a small brick.
