We have been researching communication options for an upcoming trip.
A satellite phone would appear to be our choice at the moment and probably the Iridium through Telstra.
As a hire option for a three month period, and possibly longer will cost much the same as buying something like a 9555 unit I have been thinking along the lines of just buying the handset outright and maybe using the SIM from our mobile which is an I phone 4. Apparently the calls are prohibitively expensive but the idea being that it would only get used in an emergency and normal chat and SMS done while in normal mobile range.
Question, can anyone see any obvious flaws in my cunning plan?

I have done the "search" option here and other forums but maybe there are other forum options that I don't know about so forgive me for asking a question that may have been asked before, possibly many times.

Cheers
