I'd like to know which site rents a sat phone for $25/month with usage fees. I needed to rent a sat phone this summer for two months, and checked sites, including the one H_langford recommends, and found that when all was said and done, it would be at a minimum of $600 for the period, way more than our budget. This was for the most basic phone available, with a minimum purchase of airtime.

Would you care to share where a phone can be rented for $25 a month? Would like to take advantage of it next summer as my group will be returning to the same location (B.C.).

Thanks.
