[QUOTE="Simmo, post: 426293, member: 4105"] Mate, if you are worried about buying an older one(but not too old!), then rent a new one. The plans have changed.... Inmarsat (that I have been with for many years) have changed their plans/stuff too.. Also, some 'SIM' cards are locked to providers, you need to either get a new sim, or go with that provider. I have an Inmarsat Pro, I buy a voucher, costs say $75. I dont activate the voucher. I have Instructions written in the sat phone case, how to activate the voucher... in case its not me that is doing it... People can still SMS me, to the sat phone, for free.... Out bush, I turn the phone on every day, about 1800hrs... I wait 60 minutes. Great!!! no messages! If I need to activate that voucher, which takes seconds, I dont care if the whole phone call costs $75!! Lives could be saved?? I have had vouchers expire, money gone... $75.. but at the time... it was worth it... [/QUOTE]
