Thanks folks, I'm following up on all your suggestions. That modem add on for the Motorola 9500 looks the most promising so far. Thanks AFLM (if I may call you that).

Danny, her location is in the no-coverage area on that map. She can do voice and text from her town location via Verizon, but the work site will definitely be in the boonies. She does have a PLB that I gave her when she moved up there 3 years ago.

Will let the group know if we do work out a way of doing this.
