After an incident last week where we were trying to arrange for a a towtruck I have become aware that you cannot access 13 or 1800 numbers from a sat phone. we tried from both global star and irridium services.

For information of NRMA members their land line number for road service call centre is 02-87416000
you may like to record in your essential number list for when travelling remote


The party involved were also unable to contact their insurer until we got back to a town with next g service as the insurer also only listed a 1800 number.

It would seem these call centres bar calls from sat services. interestingly a call from the same phone number when in next g mode was accepted.
