Satellite phones


I'm thinking of getting a satellite phone for use in Mexico. Any info on a good model or company to use would be most helpful - thanks!

sat phone


The one I use is made by qualcom. I paid $500 for the phone and then $480 a year hookup to global star with voice mail. That includes 30 free minutes per month and then $1.20 per minute after that. fishin rich

We have rented from this place numerous times. We are on a LONG wait list for used phone to purchase. They are ALL in Iraq. If the troops ever come home you can expect a flood of units to be available.

Hi cristobal,

Long time no see!
I bought my phone and coverage plan from this outfit.

http://www.outfittersatellite.com

You have two choices in providers: Globalstar or Iridium. Iridium is the best world coverage and is what I have using a Motorola 9505 phone with a prepaid minutes plan. Any unused minutes can be rolled over into the next coverage plan.
It works great in Baja anywhere the sky is above you!
Hope this helps. I am cleaning out the seed room in September if you are going south around then.
Hope this helps.
