Has anyone got any further information about local hirers of Sat phones? I have just done a bit of googling for hire rates etc and they all seem to be outside Tassie except for Total Comunications in Hobart. I am planning an Easter week 9 day South Coast trip with two other VIC grey hairs, and my wife is insisting that we carry an EPIRB or Sat Phone for HER peace of mind! Has anyone tried a mobile from the Ironbounds as I have heard around the place that people have had reception on the Eastern Arthurs and PB with CDMA. Whether the latest NextG will provide the same, better, or worse I don't know, but I will be taking my latest Nokia 6120c (100gms) with me an do some testing on the way.
