What are you looking for? Data or voice and how much of each?

For best offshore data coverage you would need a device that supports UMTS (aka HSDPA or 3G) on the 900MHz band which your phone unfortunately doesn't. That means your choice of networks is limited to those using GSM900, GSM1800 and UMTS2100. The earlier two are pretty slow when it comes to data, especially in coastal waters with many martime users and the latter has a pretty high frequency thus a short signal range which will cause coverage to deteriorate quickly once you set sails.


terminals: Samsung: Galaxy S5 DuoS (G900FD); BLU: Win HD LTE; Nokia: 1200; Asus: Fonepad 7 ME372CG; Huawei data: E3372, Vodafone R201, K3765, E1762;
postpaid: O2 on Business XL; prepaid: DE: Aldi Talk, Lidl; UK: 3; BG: MTel, vivacom; RU: MTS; RS: MTS; UAE: du Tourist SIM; INT'L: toggle mobile
VoIP: sipgate.de (German DID); sipgate.co.uk (British DID); ukddi.com (British DID); sipcall.ch (Swiss DID); megafon.bg (Bulgarian DID); InterVoip.com
