Hi all
Ordered the R290 by phone from Julian in London on Monday night 24th. Arrived in
Perth on doorstep Friday 28th 0930!. Amazing. ($530 delivered in case you're wondering)
Now. Does anybody know exactly what I do next to get it going? Can I go to any Vodaphone
shop in
Perth to get a sim card and get connected? Or only certain dealers?
Thanks in advance.
Russell

I recently purchased an R290 and went into a Globalstar Dealer (Melb). After completing the application form, they gave me a SIM Card and within an hour the phone was working.
I initially had some "finger" trouble to get it to work in Satellite mode, but once I figured it out the phone works really
well !
Costs:
$530 for the phone
$200 Connection fee
$35 per month & includes $10 of calls.
