I have both. In Southern Africa, the Inmarsat has worked best for me. I did not use it in East Africa. However, I have received a number of calls from someone using one in TZ. The quality was outstanding. | |||

Tim has a point. My Inmarsat is useless above the Arctic Circle. The Iridium is great. | |||

Andy sold Nigel Theisen and I on Inmarsat. We bought 2...one to replace Nigel's old Iridium in Africa and one for me to travel with. So far...so good! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

Thanks guys - sounds like Immarsat is way to go. I don't want to go to the poles, so that is good news :-) | |||
