Anyone who uses/has used satphones extensively? Noticed any abnormal messaging or call issues in the last 18mths? (particularly with the iridium/telstra system)

No probs with Iridium in NZ 8-18/2, other than the normal crap reception!
The iridium go I hired was a much more useful device than a sat phone.

Thanks Andrew, mixed bag of experiences around the net, have you used these on a Telstra account? (Iridium claim it's a Telstra issue).

If anyone is using a SIM in iridium other than a dedicated Telstra (TMS) satellite plan (ie. $35p/m+), it would be wize to continually check it's still functional (out of a mobile network range) before a remote walk.
