We have just activated our Satellite phone for a one-month account (not to exceed 75 minutes).  This is way too expensive for routine communication but will be a key part of our emergency response should we need such communication.

To use the Sat phone:

1. Extend antennae fully.
2. Power up device in an obstruction-free area.
3. To call the U.S., dial

00 1 then the area code
