Can't you get a blackberry through your verizon account? That is what I have and it works "OK" around Squam. Not going to lie and tell you it works great, but it's not as bad as it was back in the day.
I have a Sprint contract til January and Verizon is about 30.00 more a month for me, I get Sprint, unlimited everything, for 69.00 a month. The Verizon plan I went with for NH is el-cheapo, .99 a day, and only if I use it, so 2 or 3 days a week it wont be bad for better communications when in NH. Then .10 a minuet for calls, for Verizon to Verizon calls, no charge at all.
Weird thing is I can text, e mail, intetnet, etc. no matter where I am in NH on my Sprint, just can't use it as a phone most places I go. So when in NH I have to carry two phones now, lol.
Took a day off from "first light", still sitting here in my camp at 8:20 wishing I went out earlier this morning, I will fish today yet ??? Did not line anyone up for fishing today or the weekend as I had a feeling fishing would be slow and an early end to the vacation might be in store.
A Squam report will be coming, but not much to report excpet it's a good place to stay away from, lol. I heard Winni is slow now too, but not as bad as Squam.
Next year we will not take a July vacation up here, maybe the Cape or a different week, slow fishing for 2 or 3 days (weekends) I'm used to, 7 to 10 days in a row is harder to deal with.
