Never tried it, alas for the last several decades none of my journeys have 
been longer
than 3 weeks.  But I hear good things about PocketMail, <URL:

which stores text and then uploads it over any telephone, accoustically 
coupled.

But that may be antiquated.  I suspect that one of the newer Treos (cell 
phone, keyboard, Palm device, camera) could not only upload text but also 
images, assuming of course a carrier signal was available.  Which is more 
common these days, a cell phone signal or a pay phone?
