ATC Oceanic Handoff

***  A reminder from Oceanic ATC   ***

When going into oceanic airspace, after ATC advises:
"RADAR Service is Terminated,
contact ARINC on Freq ____"

It is important to make contact on the new freq ASAP.   Please do not wait until getting to the first reporting point to call unless you are within a few minutes of crossing.  In that case it is OK to wait and complete the full position report then. Keep in mind during the time you delay the call, ATC has no clear method to contact you.
