This follows the release in Australia of the new Inmarsat IsatPhone Pro satellite phone. Recognising the unfolding tragedy on Australia’s east coast, John Whitley, Managing Director of www.isatphonedirect.com.au, a division of Australia’s largest on-line satellite retail group, announced today that his company would donate $100 to the Queensland flood appeal for every IsatPhone Pro phone it sold in January and February. “With mobile and landline communications breaking down in parts of Queensland, it is vital that people can quickly access affordable satellite phone technology and with the Federal Government subsidy, we can effectively halve our retail price,â€� Mr Whitley said. Changes to the subsidy scheme just announced by Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Senator Stephen Conroy, include a subsidy increase to 85 per cent of the handset cost, up from the previous 60 per cent, including for the replacement of handsets purchased more than three years ago. More information on the Satellite Phone Subsidy Scheme is available online at www.dbcde.gov.au/satphone or by contacting 1800 674 058 (free call). Mr Whitley said the IsatPhone Pro satellite phone used the latest in satellite technology with four of the newest series of satellites that will orbit the earth. “The biggest market Inmarsat will open up with this satellite phone will be casual users, because, for the first time, walkers, climbers, campers, fishermen, sailers and boaties will be able to buy this satellite phone from as little as $456, if eligible for the government grant. “Satellite phones will not take over from standard mobile or cell phones people used daily, particularly because you need to be outside in clear line of site to the sky. The reality is most people use a satellite phone as a protective measure when in country or remote areas. “Also, for the first time in Australia, customers can buy pre-paid unlimited minutes with a duration of up to two years, which makes the IsatPhone Pro a real winner on all fronts.â€� Exceptional standard equipment with the IsatPhone Pro includes global travel pugs, wall charger, cigarette lighter charger, wrist strap and a mini USB cable, which, according to Inmarsat, will permit email downloads from the end of the first quarter of 2011. Mr Whitley predicted that stocks of the IsatPhone Pro would be limited for the first six months, as demand would outstrip supply but www.isatphonedirect.com.au was working very closely with Inmarsat to satisfy hundreds of pre-orders. “We’ve just taken delivery of 1000 new units at our Subiaco, WA, store, so we have stock for new buyers, if they order quickly .
