Experience with Satellite Phones?

I need to get a portable sat phone. What models are good? Anyone have one or use one?

What are the service plans like? $8/minute?

Do the data connections work at all? Email and/or icq at least?

Thanks,
KC

The igloo is fully wired, even has wireless broadband ;)

I'm going to be exploring the Alaskan wilderness and need access for when I set the airplane down 300 miles from anywhere. ;)

If I'm lucky I get 14.4 No, they have great connectivity up there, especially in Anchorage.

Check out http://www.roadpost.com/

I had a Motorola Sat Phone with Iridium (Carrier) and it was costing something like $2.00 per min. But to receive a call, it's fucking expensive for the person who is calling you - like $10 to receive a call.

Anyway, maybe it has changed, check the site above - you might find some good informations. Also, you can check these carrier sites:
