I've gone for PAYG i.e. 500 minutes of airtime (data or voice), which cost US$750-00.
If you go onto the http://www.mailasail.com website, there is a whole section explaining all the possibilities. The mailasail service costs £10 per months, so approx US$20 per month = 240 per year, so a total budget for comms of US$ 1,000-00 per year.
The comms gives unlimited weather in GRIB and txt form and of course, voice calls.
On my previous jaunt I used sailmail, which is now about US$250 per year (IIRC), but has loads limitations and blank spots around the world.
