I have some shares of Iridium if someone wants to buy them **cheap** I'll
sell them for what I paid for them (smirk smirk) Smile

The two systems with which I am familiar are Iridium and Globalstar. They
seem quite pricey when compared to cellular/PCS service here in the US
but the key is that they work just about anywhere in the world (Iridium)
with no roaming charges. OTOH they cost like paying roaming charges for
normal service. Expect to pay about $1(US) per minute for air time.

Thank You Brian. That certainly has possibilities.

I recently did some research on satellite phone rentals. You can rent sat
phones by the week, month, whatever. I occasionally fly through a section
of Mexico between Mexicali and Punta Penasco that is desolate to say the
least. My ELT is worthless, and I'm not a big believer in PLBs. By
contrast, to pay $60 or $70 for a week of satellite phone rental appeals to
me...go down in a desolate area, and at least you can call in your own
search party.

Google "satellite phone rental" and you'll find tons of options.
