Can anyone tell me if there is a pre-payed satellite phone service available with no monthly/quarterly service charge please?
Bit of background. I’ve been in the fortunate position over the last couple of years to have access to a Motorola 9505 which has cost me nothing apart from the occasional calls.
Obviously this can’t go on for ever and I’m now going to purchase a 9505. What gets my back up is paying service charges when the phone is not in use.
Two out of three trips I do are solo and usually into remote areas. My daughter is now becoming concerned about communications when I’m away.
I put an application in for a subsidy some time ago, but was told by a dear little thing in
Canberra it was unsuccessful (long story).
After a lot of Googling and research, I’m more confused than when I first started.
I'm not interested in rental and can't afford one of the new HF sets.
Help guys!
Regards
Kim
