While on vacation walking the sailboat docks in Titusville Florida yesterday I saw someone using a composer. That was the first time I had seen anyone, other...
Yes, up here in New York State I am the only one I know who uses the service even though I assume that if I went to a camp ground I might see others using...

Hi Everyone, Like many of you I'm asked about my Sharp TM-20 Pocketmail device whenever I use it in public. It seems that there are not a great deal of...
Hi Joseph, I love the look on peoples faces when they first glance over are trying to figure what you are doing. They then want to know how long Pocketmail...
Hi Tom, I'm sure that one day most of us will see another person using a pocketmail device. I know I can't wait to see another pocketmail user her in Vegas! ...
Hi Les, I've been using pocketmail for around two years. I have not seen another pocketmail user in Vegas yet. But, I'm waiting patiently to see another...
Did it ever occur to all of you Pocketmail enthusiasts who have never seen anyone else using one that perhaps -- PERHAPS! -- we are the Luddites? At $179 a...
My marriage to my Composer is also languishing, what with the vast majority of my messages being spam and the gradual disappearance of pay phones. And...
Hello All; I came across the idea of Pocketmail as I was investigating backup 12 volt power for my Ham Radios. I'm just a Tech Ham, but after Ketrina decided...
Yes, at $179 its a lot to swallow. I will keep my pocketmail though because I still like the fact that in rural areas where there are lots of cell phone dead...

Hi Joe, I've been Pocketmail user for a little over one year. So far I'm very satified with the quality of service. I was a little disappointed at the increase...
Joe: I've had a TM-20 for several years and really like it. There are several differences between it and the Composer, but the one usually quoted is that the...
Hi Bob kc7rje; Thanks for the response Bob. Some of those radio manuals are easier than others LOL. This Kenwood 700D is a little tough. As I've looked more at...
Hey Les W6TEE; Thanks Les, its funny how many of us hams find our way into "another one"??? as my wife would say. I think she may like this one when we travel,...
Hi Joe, Between the manual for my Icom T7A, Yeasu FT-7400 and FT-8500 I know about how "cryptic" the language can be if you don't know the terminology. They ...
Joe and Bob: Winlink and Telpac are good, and we can discuss them off-list, if you want. But I have all the equipment and never used it beyond testing it on...
Hi Joe, I use a TM-20 on a "when all else fails" basis while RVing, which we now are. Mine used to lock-up and lose all the stored data, but there is a...

Thanks John, thats good to know about. Let me get this thing in here to find out if it has any problems. (hope not) Then I'll give a report. Anyway if I have...
Okay guys, my TM-20 came in the mail yesterday, and I signed up today, even sent myself some mail, and she worked using the POTS. I appreciate the info I got...
I have used a Composer for a couple years. Today when I turned it on it has a "Activate Device" page. (It worked properly yesterday.) I called support at...
Whatever you do don't reactivate your composer, it will erase everthing you have on the device, folders and everthing! I found that when this happens on my...

Joe, Thanks for the advice. I have the bateries out of the Composer now and will check it tomorrow (taking them out for a short time had no effect). I sent a...
Hey, don't throw it in a river; some environmentalists will claim you disrupted the samon run, disruped the caribu migrations and started a perafrost meltdown...

I'm not ready to throw mine away just yet! Maybe the fact that I have the Sharp enters into it. I am leaving on a trip this week and will be traveling mostly...
Hi Tom, Last year my Composer lost it's PMID number. I called the Pocketmail staff and they couldn't reactivate my Composer with reprogramming. I then decided...
Hi Les, I doubt I'll be giving my pocketmail anytime in the near future. I find it too convenient to give up. The benefits outway the drawbacks as few as they...
Hi Joe, I like my Pocketmail device for the same reasons as you. You can compose an email just about anywhere so that makes it very convenient. You are not...
I will be traveling from Central New York, around Syracuse to Portland, Oregon in six more weeks; it a repeat of the trip I did just two months ago. The...
