Thanks stocky, but
first aid certificates aside - sitting snr
first aid exams is an occupational
hazard for blokes like me...
... but it took them too long to admit it
... It is more than waiting for a minute in my experience - it plain don't work most of the time.
... my kludgy Telit phone's batteries - internal and rechargeable need replacing, and I've still had precious little use out of them, but of course I have to send the phone back to them at $300 plus parts to get it fixed
... they argue and bleat about the rental... no free rental for me - obviously I am an obnoxious sh*t
... some - perhaps most, of their dealers are as much in the dark in my experience - they get told stories like "You might have to wait a few minutes to connect"
... and I have spent too much of my precious time on the phone with them... more than I should need to.
Their letter admitting it only told half the story.
They never offered to provide free anything - it has to be extracted from them like pulling teeth.
They just send bills - no updates about their progress - or lack of it. Those 4 satellites were going to be up in March... it's now September where I am, and they're still not up, right?
G* should be another insurance policy - it ain't in my experience. When I or a client has wanted to use it, it has not worked at all... I had it on for 4 hours in Purnululu after a snake bite... just to tell the missus I was waiting for the RFDS and that I was still alive, and it never connected long enough to connect a calll - much less say anything useful.
Similar situation in Oodna...
The phone's been checked out - it is not the phone - its the big vacant space up in the sky.
In short, it's not a good insurance policy,
first aid or not.
