Sat Phone, whos got what???

[Slip It In]

I am wondering what everyone is using for Sat phone offshore. Would like to know from people who actually have the units and plans, coverage, extra fees. I am looking to switch service provider due to never ending rate increases. I want to stick with a sat phone for safety reasons. In an event of an actual emergency, a garmin inreach will have little value to me.


I have had a globalstar phone for some time now. I have had little to no issues with service and the battery life and usb charger is great. That being said my service contact has increased around 25-30% each year. I just received another increase letter for my next billing cycle. Over the cost of fishing offshore it is a small expense however i would like to explore my options.

Thank you
Peter
