Following receipt of information from Simon and Mark, I've been looking into the type of mobile signal on Kilimanjaro. Whilst it seems that the Tanzanian Vodacom GSM signal can be reached all the way up to the top of Kilimanjaro, the UK service providers in O2 and Vodafone (I have an iphone with O2) only have a text and voice service contract with the Tanzanian mobile network.
We are being told that we still might be able to access the internet but that the service will be intermitant at best as we climb. Thus, it is distinctly possible that the daily blog update during the climb from my iphone will be text only and that pictures (which require an internet connection) will not be able to be posted. Hopefully we will still be able to post text and pictures but if not apologies in advance.
Cheers for now.

You are probably aware that Chris Moyles is also doing this, why don't you ask the BBC's technical department if they know of an easy way to solve your problem.
