Well my wife spent a good amount of time nattering away to her mother on the
Satphone as she walked about the deck of our Maldivian Villa. And she loved
me for it. So the lesson there: Always buy a sat phone.

Cool would be using it to deliver the ma-in-law some flowers. Keep her on-side for when chicken soup is needed.

Would you really want to be sitting off the Cote d'Azure on a yacht with K S-T lounging about gossiping to her MUM?

Once again, just because you *can* doesn't mean you *should*...
You have a strange idea of a holiday....

If she wanted to call her mother from my yacht in the middle of the Med,

I never quite understood why the data access was /so/ slow - isn't it like 9600bps or something?

But yes, you're right. I want one. What do they cost to run?

I bet it only works it slightly cheaper than Vodafone :-D
