[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1727450, member: 94491"] OK-- had to make the decision now before it gets too late and shipping goes from 2 day to next day went with satellitephonestore.com in San Diego CA-- salesman's name was Tyler (super nice, helpful, informative) and he cut the shipping fees in 1/2 over the online price if I called direct (I'm sure he gets commission) -- but that way I kew it would be processed correctly and I had the rental receipt and agreement in less than 30 seconds after my CC was billed, I e-signed the agreement while on the phone with Tyler, and the SAT phones will be in the mail with tracking tomorrow in the AM cost for an iridium 9555 and a 9575 (has 1 touch SOS button for emergencies) with 30 min air time each, and a US ph# for the 9555 was about 350 with a refundable 50 deposit--this included 2 day air both directions closest other price was satmodo.com -- cost would have been about 40-50 more but that also included 30 min more airtime per phone 3rd option was globalcomsatphone.com-- cost was about 35-40 more but with 40 min of air time per phone 4th option was mobal.com-- $150 per phone for the rental BUT no prepaid air time options, cost is $2/min for ph and $1.50 ea for texts -- usage fees could add up quick I researched about 6 different companies and did online chats and put the phones "in cart" to compare-- as noted earlier some of the companies wont give you shipping costs until you go to check out so the initial costs can be deceiving--im sure i will be receiving all sorts of junk e-mails now as they all required an e-mail address to continue. wife will just need to keep her airtime below 30 min or then they change $2/min if you go over--not that big of a deal breaker as if the air time is needed we are willing to pay I have no affiliation with any of these companies and at this time have no reviews other than my interactions with Tyler (which I was impressed with so far) I will try to remember to update on how it works and how smooth the rental goes once I get back-- some phones do have internet options BUT data transfer is extremely slow and discouraged and very expensive for web time so I wont be checking in while im away [/QUOTE]
