You'll only be able to dial 611 and 911 without service.

Dial 611 and she can connect your call at AMAZINGLY HIGH RATES charged
to your credit card.....Be prepared to take the hit.

Would only need to make a call in the rare event that I will not be
where I said I'd be by the time I said. Whatever the rate would be
cheaper than worrying loved ones and having them start a search and
rescue. I can't seem to get through on 611 - I just get the recording
then it hangs up - is there some trick?

Also, any way to boost a standard cell with a more power and maybe the
boats huge antenna?
