[QUOTE="Gold1hunter, post: 641040, member: 14696"] I haven't used my sat phone since I have been on the east coast (years now) I didn't have a phone plan as I only wanted it for emergencies so I had a pre paid voucher that had 12 months to activate (via satellite) and would give 30 mins of call time & 1 month to use credit once activated, peace of mind cost me about $50 a year. Even when switched of in my backpack the sat phone played up the EMI on the GPX 5000 (like the Garmin pin pointer switched off on your belt. Threw that out! ) so had to leave it in the car which I thought was ironic when I lost my car! Don't know if same applies to the Z 7000's as I haven't tried it. [/QUOTE]
