So I'm taking around 30 scouts into the high wilderness area of the Uintas. We're thinking of renting a Sattelite phone for two reasons.
1.) You never know what can happen with scouts, and we are a long ways from civilization
2.) And the biggest reason is that myself and another guys' wives could both go into labor at any time, and we would be in big trouble if we missed it. =)
I've done quite a bit of research online, and most Sattelite phones for rent are out of California and Florida. They are decently priced, but charge over 30 bucks for shipping alone.
My question is: Does anyone know of a local place that rents sattelite phones??? I'm located in Orem, and would prefer something in Utah County, but am obviously willing to go to SLC for one.
Let me know,, or if you know of a website that is cheaper. The best I found was 29 a week, and then another 30 for shipping.
thanks a ton!
