Globalstar Qualcomm GSP-1600 Satelite Phone $250

 

These normally retail for $600-700

 

GSP-1600 sat phone at amazon.com

 

I read somewhere that Emergency 911 calls are possible without paying for service. Not sure if that is true.

 

Service only costs $35/mo though.

 

This could be a great piece of gear for your next expedition to some remote place.

Globalstar service isn't worth SHIT at the moment, so, no, not a great piece of gear. This might chance later in the year when they replace some satellites, but who knows.

SteepAndCheap has the Camp Alpina axe up right now at 66.99, which is 55% off. Looks like a decent little alpine mountaineering axe.
