    Default Satellite phones

    We will be going to Alaska in June 2010, and I want to buy a satellite phone. I am looking at the Iridium 9555. Can anyone comment on this phone; good or bad. Iridium is advertised as the best sat phone. Globalstar has the lowest per minute charges.

    What kind do you have and why did you buy that brand?

    Would you buy a sat phone on eBay?

    I have looked on eBay and there are quite a few to choose from; new & used.

    How do the minutes work? Do they expire after a certain time?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
