I have a Motorola 9500 Iridium sat phone which I have been using for about 3 years utilising the sim card from my Telstra GSM CONTRACT phone - no problems.
I have purchsed a Next G PRE-PAID which I have had International roaming activated.
When I try to use the sat phone with the PRE-PAID in it I get a ' Invalid Account' message.
I have read all the threads regarding sim cards/pre paid/sat phones - so please no '
check the archives this subject has been done to death' advice - and am still at a loss.
If someone has the same phone (Motorola 9500) and Next G sim (pre paid) I would appreciate any thoughts as to why I cannot connect.
I have been in contact with Telstra via the web and they are unable to answer my questions. Only answers I get are either stock answers c&p off their own website and with no relevance to the actual question I asked or the stock answer 'Telstra does not support pre-paid sim card access to sat system'
I went into the Wagga Telstra
shop today. The guy I spoke to knew absolutely nothing about sat phones
