Hi Can anyone recommend a repairer who repairs Iridium Sat phones, preferably south Queensland area. My antenna will not click into the unit.
Cheers

I may be stating the obvious, but are you remembering to press the release button whilst inserting the antenna with it oriented in the "closed" position?

Cheers

I got my Telit 500 fixed at one of those shopping centre mobile phone repair outlets run by Chinese. I had had a quote by a Telit dealership of over $300 just to look at it and then the repairs on top of that, to fix the antennae, screen & power connection socket after I dropped mine. Chinese guys charged me $80 and apologised because they couldn't fix it while I waited but come back in 30 minutes and they did a fantastic job.
While this was here in Perth (Midland Gate SC), I'd suspect the same could be found in your area.

Hello,
I got my 9500 fixed a few years back by sending it to these people.

The fix wasn't cheap but it was pretty sick too!

Geoff,
