Team, I know this has been done to death but I have done some searches and it’s not clear to me what I need to do. I find myself without reception more often theses days as we try to go away at least once a month for a weekend or 2.
I don’t want to be on a plan I want a pay as you go type service if and when I do need to use the phone for a emergency. Is there something like that out there? From what I can see and read the answer is no and the only way to get close to that is to outright buy a Iridium phone and go on some cheap Telstra plan with international roaming enabled?
Am I on the right track?
We don’t really travel that far from Brisbane but it’s just far enough to not have normal mobile phone reception and just far enough out where the UHF is very quite. At the end of the day it’s to have piece of mind that I can make a call if I need to. It’s not going to be on so people won’t be able to call me

Thanks
