I discovered that there's a satellite phone system dedicated to Belize, with phones pretty cheap and calls cheaper than some normal land cellphone calls. I bought a phone used but almost new for US$250 and it already has US$50 call credit on it. In the event the trip I wanted it for didn't happen, so I've not used it on a boat yet. The only drawback with the phone is that it either operates from mains power or from external 12v - it doesn't have a battery of its own.

What was the name of the phone?
