A Satellite Phone is the best way to stay in touch when travelling in areas that have limited cell phone/mobile network coverage.
Satellite Phones offer you 100% coverage, giving you total peace of mind throughout your entire journey, whether you are in a 2WD or 4WD camper. In the event of an emergency, you will feel comforted knowing that you will be able to connect to those you need to at all times.
A Satellite Phone is simple to use and operates the same way as your own mobile phone. A Satellite Phone isn’t just for those heading out into the remote areas of Australia. With over 90% of Australia not covered by the mobile network*, we highly recommend you hire a satellite phone when you pick-up your camper.
