I'll not be in need, (hopefully), of emergency communication but would like to be able to send daily trip reports, make logistical connections and call my wife occasionally for encouragement and reassurance. And... I'd like to do it cheaply. >> Occasionally I have used a Globalstar satellite phone to call home from Baja. My girlfriend's brother Pete leases one whenever we go there and charges it to his business. I think the rate is a couple hundred for a month. The phone is sent out and returned via UPS. You may be able to find a website for a leasing company. Let me know if you can't find a source and I'll call him. The way I do it cheaply - I bring Pete.
