How To Get A Cheap Satellite Phone! - By: Allan Michael Taylor

The days of expensive satellite phones are over! That's right, forget about paying $1,300.00+ for a phone and then paying $1.30 a minute, I mean, who can afford that! The "average" guy is about to get a break, finally.

Anybody that goes anywhere knows that many times you are in places where there are no telephones and cell phones just don't work. Then what? I don't know about you but I want to know I can make a call no matter what. Say you go into the bush to hunt, no service. How about going into the mountains for a hike, no service. And if you have a boat and go any distance off shore, what happens? That's right, no service.

Now I know what you are thinking, "satellite phones are for the rich people". Well, not anymore! Inmarsat (a pioneer in the satellite communications industry) has launched their new hand held satellite phone, the IsatPhone Pro. The best part is that it costs around the same as a high end cell phone!

With minute rates as low as $0.59 to call from anywhere to anywhere in the world, this phone truly is aimed at the "average" consumer. What is also really cool about this satellite phone is the fact that is has GPS and Bluetooth capability built in! Amazing! You get all this in a phone that only weighs 9.8oz.

Another awesome thing about this satellite phone is the voice quality which is impressive. Gone are the days of garbled, disembodied voices coming through the line. The IsatPhone Pro produces a digital quality voice signal that is as good, if not better, than any sat phone on the market.

I was lucky enough to test this cool little satellite phone recently on a trek through the Rocky Mountains and let me tell you, it performed like a champ. Everyone was blown away by the size and portability of this phone plus, this thing is rugged! It was obviously made with the user in mind and it took a few lumps with our group I can tell you!

So if you have ever found yourself in one of those "dead zones" I described above, you now have the answer. You don't need to be "out of touch" for an hour or a day, why take the chance? For my money, there has never been a better insurance policy than the IsatPhone Pro!
