You and everyone who corresponed on this subject has been talking
about voice connection with cell-phones. I have no problems with
voice. My phone, s SONY, can do analogue or digital and do it very
well. My problem (and I said this a number of times) is using a cell
phone with an e-mail machine, especially the Sharp TM-20 via
PocketMail. And as I also said: PocketMail works excellently via
landlines, both home, office or payphones.
