I don't think I can get the other people to do SMS -- using a mobile phone is enough of technological challange.
I will do that with the T-D1 when in Germany, but that can get real expensive in Belgium and the Netherlands. Ditto if I use CBW there (for them to call me). And I've never had luck charging the T-D1 outside of Germany (but I haven't tried in a while -- maybe it is better).
There is probably not enough time to order another UM (unless somebody here has one they're not using and wants to sell) but I do this a couple times a year and so, as they say, "Wait until next year

"
