Re: SPOT Assist
Just for the record, Coastel Offshore Cellular offers cell phone access from many popular fishing locations in the Gulf of Mexico, including the south end of the Florida Middle Grounds. The also have antennas on the Air Force towers in the Gulf, and many oil rigs. Very expensive, though. Any GMA or CDMA phone can connect.
I made three calls from 91 miles offshore in the Middle Grounds in '06 when a parishioner died, that cost me over $20 for about 16 minutes total.
