Satellite Phones

[angelsson]

What satellite phones do forumites suggest buying, or have had experience of in use. I anticipate doing a transat later this year with the possibility of using it for SMS and email.

I understand various test have been done by boaty mags, any links to them would be appreciated.

Thanks
