I really don't know if it would effectively work or not, but it looks good on paper...


I suppose they have cell phone models that require an account and work
anywhere a cell phone works but the ones we were looking at were stand
alone transmitters and were only good for about a half mile if the

What you really need is a concealed device that uplinks to a
satellite.

Here's one that I just found on Amazon:

The price is right and the reviews are favorable. In addition to the
purchase price it also costs about $100/year to keep an account going.
