I bought one myself a couple of months ago for $520 to the door.
All arrived OK. The phone works with the Global Star network but won't work with the Telstra network.
Tried it out up in the boondocks recently and it was a clear as a normal mobile.
They've upped the connection fee recently to $181.81. Plans are typical..
$15, $33, $88, $133 and $199 per mth. Call rates from $2.3/min down to $0.86/min depending on plan.
I believe the Com Gov funding of up to $1000 still applies, if you qualify but you need to tee that up first.
Regardless, I think they're significantly cheaper than the Telstra alternatives and as usual you'll see posts to the effect it doesn't work as
well but you'll also see posts to the effect it's fine.
Can't really see why you'd have a prob as all of Aus is
well covered + out to sea.
Cheers
