Ther's an Iridium 9555 on ebay - would that do?
They say you can put in a normal SIM:
You can use your normal Telstra SIM card (non micro sim sized) in the phone, ensuring you have international roaming enabled on that SIM, and the calls are charged at about $4 per minute. So use the SIM in your normal mobile phone when in range, or in the Sat phone when you are out of mobile range. (The alternative is to have a 12 month Satellite plan, for $35 a month and then get charge $1-$2 a minute per call) so you only pay for what you use if you put your Telstra SIM in.
I have a Samsung 3G flip out phone about 4 years old good for fringe reception - would that have a non-micro sim sized) card that I can stick in this sat phone?
Sorry to be so dumb on phone technology - 'fraid it leaves me cold...
