Sat-Phone Hire & Sales
Mt Dare Hotel
Mt Dare Hotel
Satellite Phones are available for short or long term hire. Short term (less than 10 days), Sat-Phones can be picked up or dropped off at Mt Dare Hotel and the Birdsville Wirrari Info centre. If a Sat-Phone is hired for more than 10 days it can be posted to or from anywhere in Australia after completing the hire contract.  Allow plenty of time for the paperwork to be completed.
To hire a Sat-Phone you MUST have a current drivers license and a current Mastercard or Visa to complete the hire contract form.  Without either of these you can't hire a Sat-phone.

It's best to book a Sat-Phone as the demand can be high in the busy months.  No deposit is required.

All of our hire Sat-Phones are the handheld Iridium 9555 phones by pivotel and are packed in a "Pelican case" with a 12 volt charger and instructions.  They use local dialing area codes, so no complex international numbers are required.  Just dial state code and the number, for example 08 8670 7835 or 0418 xxx xxx.  It's the same when calling the Sat-phone, just dial 0424 xxx xxx and your done.
