Sat Phone Hire

[Naviguesser]

Heading off on a Simpson Trip in August.

Anyone have advice on where is the best place to hire a sat for phone from?

I am in Victoria and would prefer to pick up and drop off here rather than hire from Mount Dare just for the desert crossing. We can then have it available for the rest of the two week trip rather than just the Simpson component.

Thanks

Hi Naviguesser
You could try One Planet Communications
Gme Radios Uhf, Hema Gps and Icom Radios | Gme Uhf (http://www.oneplanetcommunications.com.au)
I hired one form them for my recent trip. They couriered from Melbourne to Sydney and included an Express Post envelope for return. Cost around 240 all up for the two weeks hire plus the delivery/return. they are based in Melbourne, return address was in Brunswick

Thanks for that, have sent them an email for a quote.

Still happy to hear from others with advice on this as well.
