yeah its a right pain that is, I mean just the other day I was at the bottom of the ocean and I thought I'd ring my mum but can you believe it, no reception! I can't believe the phone people don't put masts up down there I mean what are we paying them for exactly? hmm?

[deedee]

why would you take your selfphone deep sea fishing

[maxon475]

Deep sea fishing is not "fishing deep under the sea" it is going past the continental shelf to troll over waters that are 1000 feet deep or more. For example the fishermen that fish of New Jersey have to go 80 to 100 nautical miles out.
Now, about that cellular:
After reaching a certain distance you lose the cellular signal. I still take my cell with me everyday. Because if you are in range it can help save your life, as it happened to one of my colleague and friend, when his boat sank.

There are no cellular towers on the water, ergo, no reception. I used to go fishing all the time and even only an hour out on the ocean we would lose signals. It is normal, don't worry.
