FYI, I buy my minutes from this company in Manassas, VA. They are very accommodating and close enough where you can drive up and get a SIM card if need be...

You'll need the time for Newport.Looking at Ebay and Craigslist too.

This phone works with the second generation satellites that were launched about two years ago. I have one and it's excellent. It starts up and locks on satellites faster than I can start my cell phone and the voice quality is excellent. The data is slow, but that's true for any of the systems. Joel - if you want to try it, I'd be happy to let you. I have a lot of minutes left from last year that will expire, so great if we use some.

I haven't checked to see if they have fully deployed the gen2 sats... I really like my Iridium 9505 brick phone. Very simple and reliable. I've made calls from inside the cabin in heavy seas without an issue. You can pick one up on eBay for around $350.
