Hi guys, First off - I've heard iridium go is slow and I can't seem to find one for rent in Canada so that's out.
We're looking to rent a sat phone for one month to go off shore in October for Berumda/BVIs from Canada. I've looked into iridium phones and Inmarsat phones: The Iridium 9555 can serve as a dial-up modem for your laptop but you pay per minute of use just as though you made a voice call. I can rent one for 1 month at $300 + minutes. The Inmarsat phones come with a data plan, and I assume you can plug them into a PC. Does anyone have any experience with sat phone data? Mainly I need to get a GRIB file attachment through an email attachment on an inmarsat Sat phone for my weather, and transfer it to my PC. What works best for doing this - dial up with Iridium or Data on Inmarsat? Thanks guys, Dan Breakaweigh C&C44 Halifax, NS
