I need a phone that will work on the pitching deck of a sailboat in the middle of the ocean. Is an unstable platform a problem for this phone?

Absolutely. The phone is held quite securely. I've not had problems, even when going over railroad tracks or potholes.

Absolutely. But if your service is weak at home, since you are in a fixed location, you should put up a directional antenna that points straight at the tower. The sticks are really made for mobile situations.

Sail on a sail boat? Not sure if that application would be the best for these.....you will probably want something heavier duty and salt water friendly

I would imagine that it can be used anyplace that there is a phone you want amplified. He works great here. It rings loud and the light flashes. It solved my problem. I would take care to shelter the outside phone from any rain or moisture of any kind. I doubt if it water proof. I would always move it back inside if unattended.

I've had no issues with the one I received. It locks and maintains a strong conection. I've used it out in the ocean during choppy water. Perhaps you got one that is defected, and it needs to be replaced. Wishing you happy holidays.

Yes I use this everytime I ride. It is very stable and holds the phone securely. I also got caught in a heavy downpour. Phone never got wet. I highly recommend it. I also use Digifit app to track my distance.

Good day Amanda. This phone works wonderful for me here in The Bahamas. So far I haven't had any problems with the phone and at this time I would net change it for no other phone in the world. What problems do you have with this phone?

I use a bungee to anchor mine when it gets windy. Living in fl we get oceanbreezy but I don't think this would work for you.

I believe so as the one I bought I used it in Antigua, but I wouldn't recommend this phone as it work perfectly for about 5 mths and that was the end of it, it refused to come on, had it checked and was told that the board was damaged and was not repairable.............

i believe is because these phones come from over seas and there is no infrastructure to support this phone like the big phone companies offer. my fiance had this phone for a year without problems

I would recommend having a VHF. You should have redundant systems for communication. Cell phones are awesome but they can fail. You can talk to the coast guard on the vhf, especially if they are searching for you at night or in fog. You can also contact vessel assist on VHF. You can contact marinas and fuel docks on VHF. Learn the different channels where all these services are available and you have a whole new way to communicate. Not to mention you get 24hr continuous NOAA weather reports on your little VHF. My opinion....

By the time its unlocked you can use it over sea as phone and that works good... I got a few of those types and its working in africa

I have had this phone for a 1 and a half years and not once was one of my calls dropped. I live in the suburbs with not add lots of towers but this phone has always been reliable. I recommend this phone to all.

Most apps run fine. phone works well, but I only recomend it if used for work purposes or are very outdoorsy. Recommend galaxy s3 or something with atleast 1.5 gig ram in the processor
