Hi All,

Just a quick question, does anyone know if the Isat Phone SIM cards are de-registered if they are not used for an extended period of time?

Thanks

We have one that hasn't been used since last year on our Simpson trip. And even then it was one email. It still worked today. It is on a prepaid account which runs out on 1 June. I will be adding a few dollars for a trip that we are doing soon. I think that I have made less than ten calls since we got it in 2009.

But note that there always a credit in it.

Thanks for that Phil - we are about to fire up our Isat after about an 8 month hibernation.

Mine ran out of credit due to the old 2 year limit 2 days ago...still had $100 left on it. Oh well... I'm wondering how long the sim will last if I don't top it up. The plans now are crap compared to before.

You know we could always call them. What!!!! Use a phone and talk. My god!!!

Calls etc aside, I would be very interested in what happens there Mike.

I will call my contact next time I remember. Hopefully tomorrow as we are off on a CSR drive soon and I don't want to go without emergency comms. My bloody memory. Now what was I going to call her for!!!!!

Time for a little Elvis and then bed. Had a few skin "things" frozen today and the face is a little sore.

Night all

Founds a free call number on the Isat web site and all seems to good. BTW we haven't had any credit on for at least the last 6 months.

Mine was out of credit and not in service for over 6 months. Just recharged the credit and away you go.

Good news. Thanks Andy. Until you or someone that you know does it there is this annoying niggle that something will go wrong.

Whats the link to top it up mate? Did you see any reference to Paypal?

Hi Phil,
I use the company I bought the phone from and just email them and the credit is automatically put on the phone as they have my bank details.
Otherwise just Google a supplier I won't use Pay Pal
Cheers Andy

Thanks. I do have an email address but I still prefer the personal touch. The mob that we purchased the phone from are now GONE! But I do have a source.
