Mike-

Called CME and looked into the Sat phones.

I learned that unfortunately, it's a year round subscription plan only, you cannot get it seasonally.

For the dozen or so calls I would make to my wife to say "We're fine, fishing is great, we'll be late, we're fine", it seems like a lot of dough to spend $40 - 60 a month all year.

At least with my limited use that is....if you're offshore from June through September it may well be worth it.
