Iridium phones
Hi,
I intend to sail from Trinidad and the Panama canal through the
Pacific back to Australia and New Zealand next year, unfortunately
solo.
I am contemplating the purchase of an Iridium phone to receive daily
emails such as buoyweather.
My question is- does anyone know how long the connect time taken
before the actual upload and download of email or data takes place.
I suppose one could call it "handshake time". I presume one has to pay
for this time.
Any experience using Iridium would be much appreciated
