Thread: Has any one tried one of these?

You can even update Facebook from the middle of the Simpson (if you wanted to). I have one and it works well. There is a new model that has more functions than mine. They are about half the price of a satellite phone and can be a life saver.

thanks but im trying to avoid more mpnthly costs. will look into some thing like that if im going away for a big one.

cheers.

You can get them on eBay for around $80. Just wondering if any one has one or knows about them.

I should have looked at the link I have a similar one made by Ultimate that I rarely use.

The big advantage of plugging into the dock connector is that you can power both devices simultaneously. The external bluetooth units require either batteries or a second power connection.
