Essentially the "0147" triggers the premium service charges in the billing system so depending on your "plans and bundles" it will probably be cheaper for wifey to ring you.
Be aware that if the call doesn't connect it should (or at least it used to) lodge a missed call message which costs you 50 cents (give or take) PLUS you need to access the message at your Satellite Rate to get the message to see who it was.
I just ignore messages but you still get the lodgement charge (assuming that is still the current way of doing things).
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
Thanks for your help ET. Yep so it's cheaper for the misses to call me...great...lol
I'm pretty sure I get the lodgement charge as well.
Thanks mate!
Andy you have a text message?? Your going to hurt me aren't you !!
Text messages cost the sender about 10 bucks each... You idiot!

It's the same text format and algorithm we used back in the 90's...nightmare...lol
A heads up for anyone using $10 a month Telstra SIM in Sat phones like I do.
If you make/receive any Sat calls on a trip or register onto the Irridium system IE turn your Sat Phone on, don't forget to take the SIM card out and wack it in a mobile when you are finished your trip and make it register back on the NextG network.
If you don't the number stays as last registered to the Satellite system and any SMS or calls that divert are charged at Telstra Satellite rates.
Because the call gets "answered" and then diverted if the phone is off it still incurs the connection charge.
A couple of wrong numbers or messages (even from Telstra) and it is easy to run up 10 or 20 bucks.

Nice one ET...
For anyone who remembers I had issues with my docking station, it has just been fixed under warranty and is being sent back now at no charge thank god, they had to replace the main PCB.
I can't really say why this happened on a public forum but if anyone is about to purchase one and install it then PM me.
Jeez, I forgot to get back to you about what I thought it may have been when we were chatting at Dalhousie
PM sent
