Communication

Is a Sat Phone the most dependable communications for the open sea? Is there any place on the open sea where a Sat Phone, for some reason will not work?

This is a pretty immense topic and short replies on a BB isn''t the best way to get your answer. I''d recommend you visit a few of the key websites where vendors - retailers like Marinenet and also parent companies like Iridium and Globalstar - will offer comprehensive information.
