Life Satellite Phones

**Bwana** · 01-29-2011, 08:45 AM

So have any of you had any experience with satellite phones? I have been throwing around the idea of picking one up, but they seem kind of limited. When I first started looking into it, I called globalstar. http://www.globalstar.com/en/

Before looking into it, I assumed you could just make a call whenever. Upon further review, it would seem one must wait for a satellite to pass over and you can only make calls for a limited time. http://calltimes.globalstar.com/

With all the time I spend way the hell back in the mountains and walking around the jungle once in awhile, I was thinking about it as a decent saftey tool.

I'm also considering one of these, a GPS satellite locator. http://www.findmespot.com/en/index.php?cid=102

Have any of you had any experience with these?
