Latest Iridium Satellite Rental Review
A detailed and informative Iridium Satellite Rental Review from Clarke Green, a volunteer Scout leader and operator of scoutmastercg.com.
"Mobal.com has the clearest, least expensive rental agreements I have found (and I have tried a number of companies over the past 9 years of trips). We’ll spend about $160.00 for a ten day rental, $12.00 per day(including shipping both ways), and $42.00 to insure the phone for the rental period. A satellite phone retails for about $1000.00 so the insurance is a good idea."

All your satellite phone accessories are FREE
Many of our competitors will charge you for extra batteries, carry cases, chargers and other accessories. They entice you with low satellite phone rental costs, making it seem like you're getting a great deal but this cost usually excludes the accessories you'll need.We even set up voice mail for you so it ready to use-many companies charge a set up fee.

And now the more serious example...
In this video, the guys from the Gone Huntin' cable show explain why they always take a satellite phone when they go filming in the wilderness (and why they choose a satellite phone from Mobal).

Both personally and as a professional outfitter and guide, I spend a lot of time in the Montana backcountry with pack stock.
I have used a Mobal sat phone for the past three years, and it gives me (and my wife!) peace of mind that I will have contact in a wilderness emergency, or to help with an issue she is dealing with on our llama and alpaca ranch.
After researching other sat phone companies, I chose Mobal for the best overall price and your simple, prompt, one-price service with no extra math for shipping, plans, minutes, etc. Delivery, return and call service is easy, timely and simple. Every year I do the research again, and always wind up back with Mobal.
Thanks for the service!
One other thing stands out at Mobal.
Excellent and prompt customer service.
Mobal has ALWAYS been above par in that department. I've only been with Mobal a short time, but it has been long enough to make that conclusion.
Mobal's real people always answer me with the information I want. Rarely indeed do I have personal and informative e-conversations with a merchant's representative as has been the case with Mobal on more than one occasion.
That familiarity is very valuable and not at all the norm.
You do great, and you can tell your boss I said so!
Also, Mobal is one of the few companies that I call where a live person answers the call and answers my questions every time! I have told all of my travelling friends about it.
Thank you so much for your great service! I will continue to recommend Mobal to my friends traveling internationally.
