Globalstar (http://www.satellitephonestore.com/globalstar/globalstar-satellite-phone.php#)

Iridium (http://www.satellitephonestore.com/iridium/iridium-satellite-phone.php)

Globalstar does not yet have Alaska as a home service area?

Globalstar airtime pricing (http://www.globalstarusa.com/en/airtime/voicepricing/)

I am not sure I am traveling around the world for this year - so it appears that the Globalstar 1600 phone will be fine for my needs...

Anything else to know?

If you are interested I have a Globalstar Sat phone (1 year old) that I will be selling.

I prefer the Globalstar. Data loads at twice the speed.

The unit I had for Central Mexico was flawless.
