Satphone Question

Not sure Nige, But it sure raises an interesting point doesnt it!!!!! If the answer is yes, why would we buy a Sat Phone simply for emergency calls? Good Question. (PS, I suggest anyone with a sat phone doesnt fall to the temptation of taking out the sim card and attempting to call the coppers.)

This question has come up in my workplace recently as we service communities in the NT and use sat phones often. The following is quote from optus.

"Sat phones, like mobiles, can dial 112 form any location to lock on to an available network for emergencies."

I can confirm it applies to globalstar network but don't know about Iridium?. This advice came from optus because they are our main communications service provider.
