[QUOTE="RedDirtDigger, post: 157381, member: 2964"] I have the satphone and a PLB. Both are for totally different functions. You need a PLB first up for life threatening emergencies. The satphone is for all the half emergencies like ordering parts or a tow in a remote location and being able to receive calls from family back home in case of emergency. In my experience emergencies in remote areas are rare, however emergencies with family and rels back home are more likely... and that is where a sat phone is handy to receive calls. In remote areas my family knows that the sat phone is turned on between 6- 6.30 every evening and they can send free SMS anytime via the iridium network. RDD [/QUOTE]
