My primary comms are Marine and Ham bands because there is always someone available to talk to and get information from. There are daily social cruising networks to get the latest gossip, weather fax is free too. You can also send email and get GRIB files relatively cheap with a Pactor modem once you get past intial costs.

I do have a Iridium satphone for back-up and emergencies. But costs are to prohibitive for casual use. Never tried an yother phone most everyone I know usues an Iridium and speak well of it.
