If that's a mobile phone (or PDA) it won't help me, I do have a mobile
phone but it's very rarely turned on, its only use is for emergency
calls etc.  I'm regularly at either my home desktop or my work
desktop, if I'm at neither then it's odds on I'm up at the end of the
garden (9 acres, no mobile coverage) or on my 'bike or on my horse,
none of which are coducive to using a mobile phone!  :-)
