Status: offline 		My particular phone doesnt have international capability, but we do have mobile phones that we use when we're abroad. My issue is the hinterland... i will NEED to check in at the homestead to keep a meltdown from happening, and miles from a city or cell tower, I don't want to take any chances.

Personally, I don't feel the need for it, but this venture is gonna be a hard sell, so I need to smooth my path.

I'm thinking of the GOP at the moment (but I tell the people on my left and right that it's all about you).

Yep, they even work from 300+ miles from land out in the Pacific.

Unless you are heading for somewhere really really out in the middle of nowhere on land, or Oregon, you may have cheaper options.
