Yes Demetre it seems that we feel lost if we loose that "umbilical cord".
EPIRB works "down-under" and as far as Sat phones are concerned there are
three providers I know of: Immarsat, Iridium and Thyrana with various
degrees of geographical coverage and sky visibility constraints.
I have read that new satellites have been added in the past few years to
fill-in the missing areas.
All the best,
