The MMSI is more than that. It is assigned to your radio and it is included in 
any DSC call you make, including any emergency call a DSC radio can make 
automatically ( that call would include your position).

Yes I can get an MMSI number for free from the Canadian government but it just 
gives me a number I can use/say over the air... I guess in an emergency they 
can use it to look up my vessel data, etc. and save a lot of questions in a 
crisis - they will probably ask those questions regardless.
