Not that expensive. I just wonder what the monthly bill is.

It depends. Globalstar has a two hundred and forty dollar deal for a year, for two models, one of which you can pick up for nothing on Ebay. The problem with them is, their service seems to blow. (A real hit and miss) I don't want to be laying at the base of a cliff after a dust up with a grizzy and having to wait an hour before one of their birds flys over. Vailpass seems to be right about Iridium and their coverage. You get a lot better coverage, but shit oh dear on the price.
You can buy pre-paid minutes with others, but they expire fast and are a shit load of money, if you're not using it all the time. I still don't know what the answer is, but I will be doing a lot more research, before I make up my mind on this one. There is some good information on here, that some of you dug up as well. Well played gents, well played indeed!
