 Mickie, normally I can get reception maybe 1 1/2 - 2 hours after sailing and then I no longer have service.  I have an international plan on my phone so am able to use it in all ports and there was an occassion last cruise that we were sailing at night and went fairly close to a very large island - don&#39;t know what it was but was very well lit, and I checked and I did have service, albeit a very poor signal.   Jackie - here&#39;s a doc dance for you....<br />
