Anyone on here watch Extreme Home Makeover Edition? This last episode was the town I live in. It has to be the saddest show ever.

Thanks guys this is becoming much clearer for me. It appears that my iphone 4g apple the latest model can be unlocked from my provider and I can use it in the states if I connect to T Mobile or AT & T. I mainly wanted to use Verison because of the good service they have on the PCT. I was hoping to use the GPS system with the downloaded PCT SD card with all the maps. This is probably not an option I think I would be better off getting a GPS and an inexpensive verison go phone for phone calls just to use in the states. Thanks one and all for your input.

As requested:
"Fuel Fudge, makes 32 0.7 oz servings, total weight 1lb 5oz.

At home: microwave: 1 16 oz jar of peanut butter till flows easily. Stir in 4 oz hot bacon grease. Mix in 0.5 cup honey, 3 cups powdered milk, 2 cups peanuts, 1 cup raisins, 1 cup flaked sweetened coconut. Spread 1-inch thick into 2 greased 8x8 pans and let cool. Cut each pan into 16 squares.
"May turn gloppy after a couple weeks on the trail... should keep unspoiled for ~4 weeks no problem."
Recommended to eat before getting into your bag at night to keep warm.

I substitute almond butter, ditch the nuts, coconut and raisins in favor of bacon. Dip frozen squares in dark chocolate and roll in more crushed bacon. I think this adds about 150 calories and helps keep them stable.

This may be a dumb question but I am going to ask.
I have an Iphone connected to an Australian provider (vodophone) If I bring that Iphone with me to the USA for my PCT hike will I be able to connect to say verison without too much hassle. Is the sim card( if thats what these Iphone have) say interchangeable so I can take it out and replace when I want to use it local when in the states and then replace it when I get back to Oz land???

All this talk of phones in trail, and links to where you'll get service on the trail, I see nothing for SPRINT. I get a discount on their service, would hate to have to change providers. Any news I missed on Sprint?
