Motorolla 9500

Pete

Morning.


I pay the $30 per month, try to make a free phone call for $10 (if I remember) and pay the call charges when they happen. To me its a bit like insurance and it is handy to have.

The new sim cards don't fit and the old ones are obsolete.

Cheers

Make sure you ask about 9500 compat. sim (I am sure they have them in large size)

Just keep the original surround and tape the little sim bit back in when using it in the 9500, been doing it that way for a couple of years now.

Hello old mates, how you both going? We started the house this week (finally, only taken 1 whole year) and hoping the rain holds off - probably be the biggest wet season in history, with our luck.

In a few previous threads I read when looking at SAT phones for myself, there was mention of a sim card adapter. It was the size of the larger ones that the 9500 uses, but with a cutout/slot to take the regular small sim cards.

I don't have any other details, as I ended up with a 9505, but some searching through the forum should hopefully find the relevant threads.

Thanks to the replies so far, some helpful info gathered. Also thanks in advance to any more replies.

But why do you need a sat phone, i thought the idea of going away was no phone calls.

I use to use a piece of string and two cans and never had a problem until I had to do a U turn and the string got caught around a tree........ didn't trunk calls disapear years ago.

Why not just use a Next G phone with the sim card in it, it seems to me it must be the sim card that gives you the extra range because if you have a sat phone with no sim card in it it won't work so in my thinking a Next G phone with a sim card is the way to go.....all you have to do is enable the sat phone function in the Next G hand set and you will have cheap calls...
