You ain't the only one Danny.
A one way limited character service is no better than an EPIRB really.
I have a HF and love it but I seriously think if I was you I would do the following.
1)Get a second hand Iridium 9505A for say $600ish
2)Get a telstra sim for your phone and use that for an emergency, a little stuffing around but t
3)Never use it unless I have an emergency.
4)Sell it for $600ish when you finish your trip
Total cost is $0.
or get a telstra postpaid $10 per month SIM ( search for this subject on this
forum - lots of info) Total cost is $10 per month.
Telstra is the only way to go for around australia and will get you out of trouble 95% of the time without resorting to the Sat phone anyway.
