Weather, SSB, satellite phone---which is best

We have lived aboard for only a few months. Too many times, we can't get weather from the internet, due to distance, security or being too far off shore. We have radar, but that is too tactical.

I have looked at SSB, weather fax and many options and they all seem to get to about $3,000. Before we spend that kind of money, what opinions are there about which is the best and most economical?
