Anyone know if these devices will work in Oz, and whether there's a distributor yet?

Well. There goes the sat phone idea!
Nicko, can you sell these and the network service?
Just saved me many hundreds of dollars

So go onto the findmespot website NOW!!!!!!
Including the first year subscription it will cost you about A$260 - a bit cheaper than a satphone, huh?

DaveO

I could do that, but Nicko looks hungry so I wanted to give him the business.

For a closer look at those two snakes...

...and they aren't friendly.

Will these work as described in Australia? Are there any additional costs to the US$99 per year subscription?

Regards,
Mike.

Currently on holidays in FNQ and enjoying the winter warmth.

I received an email from the manufacturer a week ago and am expecting further contact. It will work in Australia but details I have yet to get.
