Prices vary depending on the network you choose. Some networks offer better rates than others within specific geographic areas. Most satellite phone networks offer pre-paid plans from $100 to $5,000, and a three-month activation fee for each device.

Renting or Buying

Whether you choose to purchase your own satellite phone, or rent one, the cost of service is dependent on your usage. Incoming calls and text messages are sometimes free, but a monthly plan is necessary to receive and send texts. If you're not sure whether to buy a satellite phone, renting is often your best option. When purchasing your own, always make sure to choose the correct service plan for your needs.
