TonyH Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Hi, I am in a little bit of a quandry at the moment & wonder if some of you could advise....... I'm considering purchasing a Sat Phone expensive yes (but with the government subsidy/rebate that I think I will qualify for, it will make the purchase more attractive....NOT that you can put a price on safety). Speaking to the sales people some are suggesting 'xyz' phone & going onto the Iridium satellite & others suggesting buying 'xyz' phone & going on the Thuraya satellite. The last person I spoke to was really pushing the Thuraya system, but did admit service may not be as good in Tassie or the bottom corner of WA...2 places that we be travelling to eventually. Who has had experience with Sat phones & various satellites.? I do have an HF radio that I love & use, but SWMBO would like the extra security of the sat phone. Any feedback most welcome. Thanking you in anticipation. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacky Jacky Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hi Tony,I saw a similar thread on ExplorOz. It would seem this topic has also been raised on the Bushtracker forum http://www.bushtrackerownersforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=1155 which you may find helpful.
