Iridium Sim Card Help Please

[_Wilks]

Has anyone got an Iridium sim card on a current plan that I can try in my 9555 satphone? I'd like to make a test call to Iridium's free number, therefore there should be no debit/charge to your plan.

My Telstra sim card, with global roaming activated, has never worked in the 9555 although it did work in my old 9505 satphone. I need to isolate whether its a phone or card problem.

Please reply here if you can help and I'll call you.

Thanks

If no-one else is able to assist Shane, I'll be home in 7-10 days and can loan you an Iridium sim them.

Thanks gents.

JLS - a few years back, I used Fastwave's $500 prepaid plan. You get 12 months to use up to 200 minutes. Works out to be just over $40pm. IIRC the cheapest monthly Iridium plan at the time was $35pm but you only get a couple of 2 minute calls free before you you start paying.
