i would think so, if ur close enough....

I doubt if you will be close enough, I think it will be too high above you for you to get a signal.

and if it is not blocked/password protected/ security networked

Correct, I'm sure they are.

Wonder if password would be rig number???? That would make sense???

There are cell towers out here. Just gotta pay $3 or $4 per minute to use it.
But it is worth it if you are broke down offshore.
I used my cell phone out at WC-180 area before. Worked fine, just hadda pay.

[QUACKHEAD]

Good to hear Ray. If I'm in need of help that bad, I would pay a hundred a minute. Thanks for the info.

[adamsfence]

does it matter what carrier ray as in att centential or will they all work

[Ray]

It didn't matter. You go on the offshore tower, the one I was on belonged to Petrocomm. Roaming cost me $4 per minute back then, but I needed help. It was worth it.
Depending on where you are, keep looking at your phone to see if you are getting a signal.
I was on Mercury Cellular, which is now Sprint, when I got on the offshore tower.
Back when we had a camp at Holly Beach, if you were not careful, sometimes you would be on the offshore tower if you used your phone over there too.
I had to argue with Centennial several times to get the charges knocked off my bill. I was in the Centennial calling area and got hit with the $3 per minute roaming fees.
