You don't have to plug it in because it doesn't use a modem. It uses an 
acoustic coupler which is why you have to hold it up to the telephone. My 
friends said it worked for them. Right, Walt n' Pat? BTW, Walt did have 
trouble sending/receiving from the 'pay phones' in Lone Pine. He used the 
motel telephone in my room with no problem. The point is, there may be some 
pay phones that will not work with Pocketmail device. 

Any hiker who makes it as far as Lone Pine will be resourceful enough to find 
a telephone that works. Go for it!
