Sun N Fun - Highs and Lows

Which service is this one Jay?

- Cell phone weather! I can't believe I had to go all the way to Florida
to find out that I can get pilot's weather on my Verizon cellphone for
just
$9.95 per month! It has live, animated weather radar, METARs, TAFs,
weather
maps -- everything you need, and all on your cell phone! I signed up
for
it immediately, and am already using it all the time.

It's called "Pilot My-Cast" -- and it's very, very cool.

Streaming weather radar, TAFs, METARs, winds, local conditions -- all for
viewing on my cell phone. Who would ever believe it?

And for ten bucks a month!

Jay,

Do us a favor and look at this one that Avweb is advertising, and let us
know if it's better/worse/similar to the one you have...
http://wx.rampage.net/avweb.php

It's only $5.00 a month if you pay for the entire year at once.

It's very similar in many ways. The maps look a bit sharper -- but, of
course, I'm not looking at them on my dinky little cell phone screen.

I'd say go for it -- it's half as much as Pilot My-Cast, and seems to
present the same data.

I just may switch, if you try it and report that it works well. So far
Pilot My-Cast has been flawless, but I can cancel at any time.

I need a new phone... mine's an "old" monochrome LG VX10. I think I have
another 6-8 months on my Verizon contract before I can get a new one
without a penalty.

Tell them you lost your current phone and want to buy a new one.
Ask about the special. Figure out if they will do what you want.

Mary has gone through three phones in the last six months (don't ask).
Verizon ALWAYS has "a special" that you can take advantage of...

Looks like it requires a GSM phone... I've been resisting since my old
TDMA/AMPS phone has much better coverage.

Can anyone recommend a phone with network/data capabilities that has
good obscure airport coverage?

I have had that for a year now. It is kind of cool but there are drawbacks.
You only get one METAR/TAF per request. The radar picture isn't that great,
although it does loop for a half hour period. It is really great for VFR
use, especially when you can look at about 40% of the country at a time and
see who is VFR, MVFR, etc.

I have had that for a year now.

You've used "Pilot My-Cast" for a year, and didn't post anything here?

What kinda guy ARE you, anyway?
