Voice calls
Only in emergencies
Send us a text and we can switch on the satellite phone (but this will cost you, or us, a lot!)
In other cases
Send us a text, and when we are ready try to call us on the SSB radio by asking your telephone operator to connect to us by marine radio at MMSI number 232009732. If they ask for a Call Sign, it is MBLN3.
