Seeing that Sat phone rentals are getting cheaper and cheaper it
almost doesn't make sense to fly out of the country (especially to
remote areas) without one. I'm going on a trip to central American in
a couple of weeks and am wondering if anyone can recommend a provider.
I will likely not use the phone but just have it for emergencies.

I've successfully used Outfitter Satellite phones in Nashville
(http://www.outfittersatellite.com/) -- I doubt that they're the
cheapest, but they've been very reliable and helpful. Like you, I've
just needed an emergency phone for a week or two (usually in the remote
deserts here in California and Nevada), and they did the job perfectly...
