Title: Re: spot vs. sat phone

Depends on where you go & what you want & how much $$$ you have.

I hear sat-phones are $10/minute on top of the purchase & set-up costs.

Personally I would be fine with SPOT for where I go and what I want to do.  I just want to inform the Mrs. that I'm OK or send out a distress signal if I'm not.  SPOT seems to hit the right median for enjoying the solitude & escape while alleviating anxiety of loved ones.
