travel options

Is there something out there i can get without having to have a landline? I heard there was something wireless out there but that is $16 extra a month. I may be a week at a time without a landline to check in. I also heard there were apps for cell phones. Anyone know of anything? Thank you

How crucial is it to check in that often? Most of us can skip checks for a week or two, discuss it with your dr. I don't even have the home check set up! I go in every 3 months, that's it.

If you have a Medtronic you can go Cellular. I just spoke with a Tech at Medtronic and they will mail you a brochure. It is separate from your cell phone and costs $10.99 a month. He said they have many patients that don't have land lands, so this works perfectly. I definitely plan to do this. The phone number is 1-763-514-4000. I am sure that if Medtronic has a cellular system, St Jude's and other companies would as well.

Thank You

I've seen many posts about people being concerned about exercise after having a device so thought I would let you know that yesterday I raced my first marathon since having my pacemaker fitted in fall 2004.
