  A cordless phone only gets you to the beach if you live there - the range is
very low. Cellular would in fact work, and you can buy modems for it, but
after shelling out a thousand or more bucks for the radio, and whatever for
the modem, you then get to pay (here in Phoenix on our beautiful beaches)
$25.00 per month plus 60 cents PER MINUTE!
