ARRRGH! I sympathize. We wanted sooo much to send a photo of us at the tip top of Gibraltar while were there, but well, it's under British rule and should work as long as we have a signal(strike 1), services stop at the Spanish border (strike 2), there's no customer support of any sort from our home carrier while we were there (strike 3). So we didn't get to call and say, "Hey, look at the pic we just mailed you and guess where we are?"
