As far as I know, no they dont. If it rains it rains and you gotta be ready (always be ready for rain by the way) and if a show is late coming on you have to grumble and wait for the band to come out.

If it was during torando season I could see the need for this, but during June really the worst you are going to have are heavy rains and thunderstorms and then pretty rarely.
As was said before, you always have to be prepared for that just in case, and if it happens you just deal with it.
They had a mass texting service last year, if you signed up for it.
From what I remember, it really wasn't anything useful, so maybe they'll expand it for 2007.
Really? I guess i judt didnt notice this. Was it through the AT&T thing or just an outside service? also if you had it (or if anyone knows) what kinda of annoucnemnets did they send out?
The only warning I remember was the forecast on the Bonnaroo newspaper, in 2004 I remember it said thunderstorms and it was right. Plan on rain and storms.
Anyone who wanted to get it could receive the text messages, I got nothing really useful, mostly a ton of reminders of what was already on the schedule, a big waste of battery life if you forget a charger.

Even with a charger, how would one go about charging their phones?

Yeah -- really pretty useless.
It seemed like they were doing it because they could. My reception was kind of sketchy last year and I'd often get like four messages at once from them. If they're going to do it again, they should probably offer something to make it worthwhile.

Look for an emergency cell phone charger powered by AA batteries. Here's some from Ebay: tinyurl.com/34p3do
The one I have lights up while it's charging and goes dark when it's done. It's about the size of a tube of lipstick and cost me $20 at K-Mart.
You'll have to find one that specifically fits your cell phone. Four or five AA batteries should be more than enough to get you through the weekend (depending on your phone model, usage, and provider).

I just saw a charger made by Energizer at my local grocery store......it utilizes their Lithium batteries, and sold for about $20.00. Better than cranking up the car every day, and smogging up the whole campsite, imo.....

Many of the activity tents have outlets such as the VW garage and the AT&T blueroom
they had texting last year. had weather and show schedules I am pretty sure...or you could text something and get a response....kinda like they have with each carrier.

You can get converters for 12v to ac that plug in your car lighter and/or straight to your battery. My camera is the same way, and I've re-charged twice this way each year without starting the car and had no problems starting it at the end of the weekend - would just depend on the age/strength of your battery I guess. Here are some examples: caraudio.avdeals.com/powerinverters/powerinverter.htm
Also, in '04? when Trey was delayed by the strong storms, they did announce over the main stage PA what was coming and that everyone would be advised to seek shelter.
