Phone reception


Love the film and cage in it , but one thing about it how did Orlov ( Cage) get reception on a container ship on the sea near Columbia in 1989 when mobile ( cell to American readers)phones were quite new then and very limited no way there would be reception, you still don't get good reception on land in some places today let alone the sea

He was using a satellite phone, not a cell phone.

Yes, that was my assumption too.🐭

The US paid guys in Iraq huge amounts of money to track down Saddam Hussein before the invasion. They also gave them satellite phones. In one case one of the crooks reported Saddam was in an underground meeting place hidden under a restaurant. The US blew the place away with a guided missile. It was a lie.

Saddam announced that anyone caught with one of those phones would be shot on the spot.

I don't know everything. Neither does anyone else
