Renting satellite phones is a smart choice for those who need satellite phone service for a short period of time. Renting satellite phones provide you the convenience of always having a fully-functional satellite phone. If you want satellite phone capability but don't want to commit beyond your current trip or special event, satellite phone rental from an authorized reseller like Outfitter Satellite is the way to go!

Frequency of Use

In contrast to rentals, purchasing satellite phones may make more sense depending on how often they will be used. For example, take sailors who spend months at sea every year — buying their own satellite phone would quickly pay for itself with cheaper long-term rates. If satellite phone capability is something you or your organization will use frequently, it may make sense to purchase satellite phones.

Price

One of the most important factors is price. We all know satellite phones can be pricey, especially if you're serious about getting one! For example, Iridium^® Satellite Phone rentals start at $5 a day. Compare that to the typical purchase price of $1,000 - $3,000 and satellite phone rental is definitely worth it for many people. There are times when satellite phones are likely not even an option without renting them first.
