Iridium 9505a - Totally portable - make calls from anywhere that you can see the sky. Keep it in a plastic "grab bag" for emergencies ("phoning" the coastguard is one of the few ways to be sure a distress call is actually heard and acted on...)

NOTE: The Iridium 9505a has generally been replaced by the Iridium 9555 satellite phone. However, the Iridium 9505a is still a production unit, and there are some users who may prefer the 9505a, but in general, for new purchases choose the Iridium 9555
