Satellite Phones - GSM Sim card with international roaming enabled

Hello DrewT,
The SIM in my Motorola 9500 is exactly the same as the one in your GSM phone. Only thing you'll notice is the SIM used in the Satellite phone is left as the full credit card size. They don't break out the little chip that goes into a normal GSM phone.
That's not a huge problem, there are "adaptor" cards available that you slot a normal SIM into and it makes it credit card sized.
To call a Satellite phone from within Australia just dial the number, eg, 0404 123456 and away you go.
To call a land line within Australia from your satellite phone, Area Code then number, eg, NSW would be, 02 99887766
Apart from that read your service providors website for their "special" costing arrangements for using your GSM SIM in a Satellite phone.
