Emergency Phone Number List for Sat Phone

000 will work Aust wide or maybe 112 on a sat phone

000 will not work on some phones, and on thise it does work on you may find yourself speaking to the emergency operator in another state.

What we do is have the number for ambulance, the 13 number, that will at least get you the right state, or when based somewhere we have the numbers for the ambo station and the local hospital.

Off the top of my head, I believe that 000 does not work with inmarsat or Iridium (because these are international systems, your call does not neccesarilty come to earth in Australia.

So, in short, 000 isn't the way to go for sat phone users.

cheers, the Iridiums we hire are not thru Telstra, so that makes sense!

If you have Hema maps they usually have a list of the nessessary numbers for each area, Before I travel I program them in for the areas we are going to.

You better put your therapist in there in case Mark Latham gets in while you're away! Talk about unthinkable
