sat phone pre paid minutes?

[beau]

Where can I buy prepaid minutes for my (to be purchased) iridium sat phone.
We don't have that service available in our country (australia) we are still back in the dark ages over here.
The only thing left thats good about this country is that WE DON"T HAVE GUNS AND WE DON"T NEED GUNS.

beau,

I purchase my Iridium minutes through Outfitter Satellite: http://www.outfittersatellite.com/iridium.htm

They have been easy to work with, and I have been able to purchase additional time while at sea. No doubt there are other vendors, and I don't know if being in Australia is an issue, but I have been happy with them.

I have been pleased with the Iridium system, not only for voice, but it has become my preferred email solution as well.

And you can have my gun when you pry it from my cold, dead --- oh, never mind.

Best Wishes,

Thank you paul.

As I expected, even the phone is much much cheaper than here in Australia.
I intend to buy the pre paid 12 months package.
Can anyone out there give me a reason why this sat phone and prepaid calls won't work in Australia
