You dont have to set them up I just stuck a sim card in mine and turned it on.

They do have an internal menu like a cellfone but read the manual for that

What make and model is it.

I take it you mean you want it installed in a vehicle.

Presumably any radio installer of repute should be able to do it.

I installed my Codan Uhf myself.

Looks a bit flash and appears to need a yearly contract???

Gday Mark & Shaz,

I used ASTA in perth, they installed my TT 3060A and were fantastic, you can find them at. One thing i would suggest is to have a look at the dome antenna instead of the 1mt aerial. You will love the Inmarsat/Capsat.

I have no affiliation with ASTA, just found them to give good old relaible and honest service at a decent price. Hope this helps
