Anybody here have a Satellite phone?

Looking to pick one up. With all the hunting and cross-country snowmobiling that I do, it is just a question of time before I will have to make that life or death call. Been in some bad situations where we had no signal and had to transport some banged up guys down on the back of my sled...and my recent adventure "playing with exacto knives" really shook me up.

I was looking at the GLOBALSTAR phone. Seems like a nice unit. But the mother is the size of a portable military command unit; which sucks, but it would be nice to always have a signal. I think I would look like an idiot yanking this thing out of my pocket in a bar...note to self, no 3 foot phones in the night clubs [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Any good units stateside? Any info would be great.

thanks
