Evening, guys.

Any recommendations for satellite phone rentals (service provider) for Newfoundland? Looking for something to keep in touch with my (pregnant) wife while I'm up there, as the outfitter's telling me there won't be any cell service at the lake (Rock Ridge Pond).

Thank you, both. I ended up getting an Iridium from a friend on another forum. I do have a Garmin inReach that I'll be bringing, as well. My plan is to mainly use the inReach text with the wife, but in the case of needing to get the hell out quickly I wanted the option of voice as well.
