Inmarsat Satellite phones for sale

Inmarsat is our favourite choice.

Inmarsat provides Australia-wide coverage and near-global coverage via its network of 3 stationary satellites. All Inmarsat satellites are stationary and on the equator, giving "global coverage" except for the poles. If having no reception in the polar regions is an issue, then choose Iridium. But if I had a choice of a satellite phone, Inmarsat is the best for all over Australia.

If I were travelling and needed a satellite phone with an external antenna, I would prefer Iridium rather than Inmarsat. Satellite phones will not work inside a car, so an external antenna is needed. Inmarsat does not have an affordable and adequate solution. The Iridium satellite phones come with an external antenna in the box.

There is just one current model, the Isatphone2.1; it does what a basic satellite phone should do: make calls, send and receive text messages, and can send your GPS location and tracking points when required. Australia is well served by the satellite 35,000km above PNG, giving excellent coverage throughout. If you are travelling in Tasmania, the satellite is at a height of 45 degrees, and in southwest WA, it is also at a height of 40 degrees. It is just getting better everywhere else in Australia. The satellite is not moving, so you can talk all day without dropouts as long as you don't move. This is an important advantage over Iridium. For example, if you are in a mountainous country, most people would feel that the stationary satellite would be hard to find. The fact is that at 40-plus degrees up in the sky, that is a very big hill and easy to avoid and move to clear ground. The moving satellites of the Iridium will move behind the hill, and reception will drop out. The Inmarsat system is ideal for crossings to Lord Howe, New Zealand and the South Pacific.
