We are really excited about this fantastic Dual Mode addition to the Australian Satellite Phone Handset market. This is, by far, the most exciting, technology packed and useful phone available in the Satellite Communication Industry.
As you can see from the table of features (below) - you will agree that this is one phone that is packed full of features waiting for you to use.
In the Australian climate, this is fantastic for anyone who:
... or a multitude of other uses.
We all know the gaps that we experience with our current mobile networks - most of the focus is in the main cities we have, and very little time and money is spent on the network in regional areas - or even fringe areas of metropolitan cities. You don't have to travel far from a town or city to see those signal pips disappear!
Not only this, but the phone is GSM capable as well! So, this phone has access to a signal - well, everywhere. (Remember that normal satellite phone processes apply, and you always need to operate the phone according to the manufacturers guidelines - so read your manual!!!)
