[pct-l] SPOT vs Cell Phone

[Dan Kayser]

 I am trying to decide which one to take.  I really do not want to take
either but my family wants peace of mind that I am safe even though I
have assured them I am not going to some remote location where I will
not see another human for days.  I know the pros and cons of each
(satellite vs towers, etc..) but wanted to know what others have carried
and how each device worked for them?

Thanks,
