   I wouldn't be surprised.  Plus you can test it, and you can do that   
   before you are on the road.  If you have even two friends, or maybe you   
   only need one, you can test it today.   (Used to be you could dial the   
   operator and have her call you, but I don't think you can do that   
   anymore. I wonder what happens when you dial 0 now. )
