    Even if your destination doesn’t have signal, it will still be useful for part of the journey.

    I do also have a PLB for this reason.

      That’s what they’re called! Personal locator beacons. The name was escaping me.

      Anyway, I just think people are little too dependent on phones and service. Different now a bit with the latest iphone allowing some sat e911 sms features. I rarely get service when I go out camping, personally.
