Pulled the trigger and went with Mobal.com iridium sat phone. 9.00/day. we'll see how it goes.... you may be wondering "well why'd he ask then?" good question. itchy trigger finger.

The price is about right.  I just haven't rented from Mobal.com before.  Last time I rented, I rented an Iridium phone.  It worked well whenever used on the northern half of Quetico.  I think the batt's have improved some since I had to take a solar charger along for a 2 week trip.  That made the whole unit a bit clunky.
