Do you travel with a satelite phone?
Hi everyone
I'm trying to make up my mind whether it is worthwhile travelling with a satelite phone.
There are 2 main reasons why I think its a good idea. First one is quite obvious, the "incase something goes wrong" reason, but the second one is more family related. Both my parents experienced some bad (not life threating though) health issues the last 6 months. So my concern is how would they get in contact with us in the worst case scenario if something had to happen to one of them. We will probably get one of those world wide sims for a mobile phone which means we should be able to be contacable in big cities, but that will be the extent of our communication, and of course internet/email which we might check every couple of weeks or so. (We haven't really budgeted for an expensive satelite phone...)
So I suppose it is a calculated risk of some sort...
Any wise words welcomed
