Satphone deal ?

Hi Wildmax. Try TR Telecom. I’ve used them a few times. Great customer service.

Just put your Telstra sim in when needed, with International roaming turned on! no calls = no cost..

Give this guy a call. I gave up on Telstra.

He will rent SIMs only I am sure he will be reasonably priced.

I rented a SIM for a short period and it was well priced.

Someone posted this link to the trtelecom iridium plan on a previous sat phone thread. It's $50/month for a 6 month plan.

Trtelecom iridium

I haven't used it myself, but someone else here may be able to comment.

Hi Wildmax
I may be a little late but have you tried Satellite Phone Sales in WA
Have used them for several years

Thanks everyone for your response on this. The resident communications expert (a.k.a SWMBO) is following up on some of the leads as part of our trip prep.
All the best

Hi Wildmax,

Any update you can share on your sat phone plan search. I am in the same position.

Thanks

Will post an update when we get this sorted in the next couple of weeks....still researching at this stage

Pivotel do some good plans depending on what you want to spend and wether your prepared to sign for terms or not.
We bought an Iridium off gumtree for 500 and have put it on a 60 per month plan. Call costs etc seem to be the most reasonable on this plan though we do need to use it a fair bit as I need to be in phone contact for business reasons. I have spoken to others that are paying 15 or 20 and the call cost is very high but I suppose its pretty cheap if your stuck

Hi Wildmax

I purchased a Telstra post paid contract plan for $45per month ( can cancel any time no penalty) with 30 minutes international call credit.
I can ring mobiles and house landline but having trouble with a mobile or landline ringing the Iridium phone. Maybe not using the correct access codes !
Can anybody advise.
No idea what the call costs are.

Thanks

Hi Zippo
