he called me, and i simply just hit re-dial on my phone.

the ring sounded normal, the ship captain that answered was a new one..but when my friend got on the phone it was like i called him on a land line. clear, zero delay that i could tell, static free. i asked, \"where are you long beach?\"..he said..\"no..we are just passing south of the Aleutian Islands\".

Me, \"what!?\"

him: \"you called the ship\'s sat phone\".

blew me away. that would be a great back country elk hunting tool. i cannot wait until cost come down,but next time, i am going to try to convince my brother to split a rental with me. it was awesome.

(going to google Aleutian Islands now)
 
My friend has one and he texts me from 12k feet all the time haha.


Definitely good for the back country.
 
My son called me from a roof top in Iraq a few times. The reception was good both ways. We would talk for 20 minutes or so or until the mortar rounds started getting close.
