Thread: iPhone satellite connection available from today

this is the 2nd "thing" in last month SUGGESTING that cell phone will save your arse in the back of beyond .
as I said to the lads.....you fall over and land on your cellphone or take major dunk in the drink it will be toast... and if its in your bumbag ripped off up the hill none of them will do you any good.
cell phone batteries are notorious for going flat at the worst possible time...the melenial crowd forever on facebook or swiping left right n sideways all take their toll . we had call out the other week,the fella managed to send out a single location ping to his dad the next morning allowing us to get to him quickly.... that was possibly the only txt he had left in phone...
