Expensive, and unavailability to roll-over unused minutes is disappointing
It would be great if we could roll-over unused minutes. We have two satellite phones for our non-profit organization that takes youth and adults backpacking, volunteer stewardship, teen internships, etc (ascendwilderness. org). It's disappointing how expensive it is to keep the phones activated every month, when we hardly use it, if at all! But we need it for safety.
We have probably used the phone once per year, if that (which is great since our programs run from April to October), and I will say the service and dependability has been excellent when needed. So that is good. But I wish we could get a better deal for the minutes we don't use, especially as a nonprofit that offers all our trips for free because of socioeconomic and inclusion challenges.
Thanks for your consideration.
