Not sure if this has been posted yet, sorry if it has. But just came across this on the AST Australia web site
...............
From 1 July 2013 it will be possible to access emergency calling from your IsatPhone Pro.
This facility will enable an IsatPhone Pro registered on any of the I4-satellite beams covering Australia and Australian territorial waters (up to 200nm), to dial either '000' or '112' and be routed through to the local Australian emergency call centre. The user will not need to make any adjustments to their phones, the service introduction is wholly network-related.
The only requisite is that the phone needs to be operating with firmware 5.3.0, which was released in February 2013.
The emergency calling service is available on Inmarsat's handheld phones only, and is not extended to include non-handheld Inmarsat products such as BGAN or maritime products.
