    I don't want to go on a monthly plan , I just want a prepaid plan so I can call out occasionally or in case of an emergency.

    Also can you call an emergency number without a plan??
    go back to the link above in frequently ask questions says pre paid can be used if for 2yrs

    I would love to apply for this as a communal phone for our travels and apply based on np for us to have a phone but not keen on an extra monthly bill for something that really won't get used much?

    Happy for a slight premium annual prepaid fee though!
    I believe you can get prepaid with "Applied Satellite Technology Australia" but the sim card they provide has a international number so it is expensive to call to the satphone.
    With the Pivotel plan they supply a sim with an Australian number so calls to the satphone is charged at the same rate as to a normal mobile phone.
    Both are still expensive to call from the satphone.

    Thanks mate but I'm all sorted now and sent the forms off.

    Sat phone shop in mulgrave knew exactly what was going on.

    Telstra....Got redirected 3 times over an hour with no knowledge of sat phones nor plans and eventually they gave me a number and it was disconnected...lol

    I got a phone call yesterday asking for clarification on usage. You need proof of 180 days in remote areas in 2 years.

    Well done kris hope mine comes through.
