An Antarctica sim card would definitely be a collector's item!
Roaming rates in Antarctica are expensive. AT&T postpaid is US$2.29/minute at the Argentinian Marimbio base(they have a CTI Movil/Nokia GSM base station). An Iridium satphone would be less at US$1.49/minute or less. Probably a better deal if someone were stationed there...but I doubt there are bargain rates for international calls since all calls have to go via satellite.
Personally I'd much rather be using my Digicel prepaid sim chip in Bermuda or the Caribbean from a nice sunny beach!
