For info: The Scillonian III crossing tomorrow has a quick turnaround due to tides and will leave St Mary's at 14.30hrs. Doesn't leave much time for getting to Aggie and back for the boat!
 
Hi anyone who might check this thread.

Anyone know what iPhone (O2) reception is like on Scilly? St. Mary's and the off islands if possible?

I've got birdguides Bird News Anywhere setup on on there and on the mainland it's a lifesaver - but I wonder about mobile reception on Scilly. An RBA pager seems like such a huge expense for one two week break - as they don't do a short term rental option. Which I think is stupid.

Still... anyone know about O2 reception on Scilly?
