A satellite messenger device, like spot, is probably the cheapest. These are "emergency" devices but they can let people track you.

You could still use a cell-phone even with just wifi to talk to people.
Satellite phone at $80/week is expensive.

A ham or CB radio isn't likely to be useful anywhere.
