I know a lot of you guys run or hire sat phones for your trips.
I came across this little gadget that looks pretty cool.
Saves you carrying 2 phones.
They have 1 for the iphone and android coming soon

Do your homework before throwing your hard earned at this gadget.

I looked into this a while ago as an option for work purposes. Its run by Optus in Australia. It ends up being quite expensive and its not as fancy as the marketing would have you believe.

I considered this late last year until I found out all the strings attached. Ends up being a bit pointless spending $800+ on a sleeve.

In the end I bought a thuraya sat phone. Picked it up for $400 off an old lady on gumtree. Great little sat phone. Joined Pivotel for $15 a month.
