Check to make sure your Iridium phone is working if you haven't already. I don't have all the details on what's going on, but there is some BS involved. You might only be affected if you are (were) an ART (atlantic radio telephone) customer.

I don't want to say anything else, as I might not have all the facts.

Point is: CHECK TO MAKE SURE YOUR IRIDIUM PHONE IS WORKING BEFORE YOU HEAD OFFSHORE.
