1. Everyone seems to have different experiences
2 Some differences appear to be with handsets
3 Some differences appear to be a geographical thing
4 At least one service provider isn't making everyone happy
5 Some customers of that provider are quite happy
6 Some
forum contributers are a full bottle on current satellite deployment
7 After thinking about all the posts, I'm still no closer to a definative answer to exactly what the current state of play from a 4wders point of view is.
8 A lot of kind and
well informed people posted about their experiences..thank you all.
9..ah hem. Won't mention the negatives. Anyway I should know better by now :))

Geez, a bloke puts his heart and soul into a post and still gets into strife for it. There's no justice :)))))))))

LOL
It's good stuff mate. Thanks for your efforts and those of the other posters. IMHO it's very helpful to hear the varied points of view and experiences rather than a lot of sales bull bleep ... ooops :))))))

After selling my previous Landy with the HF in it, I'm starting to think I should get another one given the problems some are experiencing with the Satphone.
I have the Ericcson R290 which has served us fairly
well and I am connected to Globalstar via Vodafone (hang-over from when they owned it) at $10 per month.
But, when you need it you want the system to work for you.........

You left the HF in the landy when you sold it??? That would have been the first thing that I would have taken out.

Gday Footie
I'll have a bite and chew
I rarely have had my satphone drop out (Qualcom/globalstar) and have an epirb as
well. Main reason is portability - can take either or both in boat or 4wd, or walk.
HF radio's don't offer that. Just my situation...(I also have a Nissan, a Waeco, and support a Victorian AFL team, so I have left myself wide open)
Cheers Andrew
