I am keen to hear from people who use Iridium and SSB e-mail. I am trying to decide between Iridium and SSB for my communications system. It seems that the set up costs of a Sat phone are roughly £500 less than those of SSB. The monthly line rental for a sat phone roughly equates to the annual membership fee of SailMail. So the fifference is obviously free airtime albeit limited to ten minutes on Sailmail compared to $1.50/minute using sat phone.
Sat phone therefore is obviously more expensive after you have used the first 400 minutes of airtime. But is sailmail a total nightmare, do connections reguarly fail etc, compared to sat phone? I will be using it all over the world.
Many thanks
