We rented an
Iridium
phone
from
Outfitter Satellite
for 6 weeks two years ago. They are based in Tennesee,
USA
, but I think they will ship anywhere.

Thanks. I sent an
email
to the above, but so far no response. Mainly they all seem to want a pretty hefty deposit. I also am on to another company in
Asia
that runs the ACes network out here.
