has anyone done any recent research on best place to get a pre paid for say 30 days, just need as insurance policy for upcoming trip
not many places seem to do these anymore, they all want long term plans

During our lap of Oz in 2015
We bought an adaptor for my wifes Telstra sim card and switch on international roaming on her plan. The sat phone worked with that. It cost $5 per minute or somthing crazy but in life or death situations then cost is nothing...

Slugger,apparently you can
Slugger,
apparently you can just insert your SIM card into the sat phone as long as you’re with Telstra. I just asked the same question on Facebook and got good response. You just have to have international roaming on. Can be expensive if you want to talk a lot but if it’s just a requirement it should suffice.
Get busy living, or get busy dying!

i will give it a try, but will need to leave it off to avoid the 50 business calls per day...

We have ours through Pivotel
We have ours through Pivotel using Thuraya. Costs us $15 per month, plus calls. Haven’t needed to use it yet, it’s just in case.
