Hello, everybody,
It seems to me that the most important thing in any emergency or survival situation is to inform people where you are and ask for their help. Therefore I think that Satellite Phones and GPS should be the first items in the list of anybody who travels abroad or countryside. I am travelling usually 2- 3 times a year abroad- Central Asia, South America, Eastern Europe- sometimes for a few days and sometimes for a few months. I am thinking to buy a Satellite Phone and GPS. Can anybody suggest what would be the best Satellite Phone and GPS to buy for travelling abroad? There is quite a large selection of them and I do not know which ones are going to be the best choice for me. I need phone solely for communication (might be also pager-send and receive functions- if it is much cheaper) and intend to use it only in emergency, preferably with long battery life or that I could charge it using chargers for mobiles, reliable connection, water and shock proof. I need communication for any continent, except Antarctica. About GPS- I need it water resistant and shock proof.
Regards,
