Sat Phones

[10G]

Our plan is costing $15 a month which just covers connection to service.
Cost to connect was about $40 , but there's no ongoing hidden fees , if you disconnect or opt out you pay the $40 again at time of connection whenever down the track , no time limit as long as you have contacted them to opt out .
If we make calls or texts we just get that direct debit along with the $15 monthly charge .
People calling in are calling a 0400 mobile type number so it's just like their calling a mobile not a satellite phone , outgoing calls are $1.99 , can't remember exactly if thats per two minutes .
No yearly fees , but I think there is a two year limit on the opt out .

That all sounds just like the deal I've heard about, it may be slightly dearer than other options but at least I can understand it ;-)

Thanks everyone for all the info.
