hi all
Apologies if this has been covered, but I did a search and nothing turned up.
In July I'm heading off on a 6 month trip with the wife and kids. From Sydney we will head to the centre, then north, then west, then south then back home...I'm not sure how off the beaten track we will be going to be honest.
But I plan to do the oodnadatta track early on and if that goes well then we will do more off road stuff (i'm not mechanical at all, hence i have resvervations!!)....
anyway, as a get out of S**t backup i want to take a sat phone with me, with guaranteed coverage, wherever we go..... I've been given a Qualcomm / Globalstar phone, but from what I've read this service has lots of dead zones, therefore it's pretty useless..?
So i'm thinking i should hire or buy another system.
Can anybody recommend a solution? I will only need it for this trip so hiring may be most cost effective. i would only make a call in an emergency so call out costs aren't a concern. However we will give this number out so call in costs are a consideration.
any recomendations on the best service provider and a good cost effective hire company (NSW) would be appreciated.
cheers guys
