Hire a Satellite Phone
Satellite phone hire – Good rates and a streamlined process:
We do it better, especially if you have a last minute request: Our satellite phone hire prices include everything (except outgoing calls). You will not find any surprises, particularly the industry favourite “plus freight” surprises or “sorry you were two days late” on the return, and therefore you will be charged more.
We can offer the Inmarsat Satellite Phone for one week for $170, the price includes $10 in free calls, GST, delivery, and return shipping. 10 days will be $196, and 2 weeks for $239, then the longer you go, the cheaper it gets.
Note: The Iridium Service will cost a little more than Inmarsat.
Our no supprises policy:
All our pricing include GST, delivery and return shipping. Click here for full details
Your standard GSM mobile phones are often unsuitable in remote locations. SatPhones communicate directly with satellites, allowing you to maintain communication when travelling to remote locations.
With 25 years in the satellite phone business, EPIRBhire and our new business https://buyasatphone.com.au, we are here to help you stay in touch. Many clients will now find that renting is more economical than buying. If you would rather not spend more money on satellite phones, we will give you a very good rate. Both EPIRBhire and buyasatphone support and connect to the Pivotel call plans offering the local number option allowing you to receive calls to the satphone at standard mobile rates for the caller and no cost to the handset, this is the best option we can find. EPIRBhire and buyasatphone are among Pivotels’ largest dealers and are the only dealers that operate 24/7.

Safety Equipment for the Epic Larapinta Trail
If you are taking on the breathtaking Larapinta Trail this winter, you should consider hiring a Satellite Phone or PLB*. We can look after you with either or both of these devices. NT Government say, “You should carry some form of emergency communication such as a satellite phone or personal locator beacon. Don’t rely on mobile phones”.

Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons
An EPIRB uses dedicated distress signals to send out coded signals in the case of an emergency on your boat. An EPIRB is about the size of a shoe and, importantly, will float next to you if the boat has sunk.
Our EPIRB fleet has built-in GPS that allows rescue services to locate your position within 10 minutes to approximately 5 metres.
Satellite Tracking
See who’s leading the pack in your remote event. Monitor friends and family travelling the remote stretches of Australia or the Globe. Keep an eye on Duke of Edinburgh and participants at large. We have a range of tracking equipment that will be ideal for monitoring progress.
Upfront, ‘No Surprises’ Pricing! $10 in free calls with phone hires!
When you call for a chat/advice, our price will include GST, delivery and return freight with an active device with all the required chargers. There will be no surprises or extra fees. It is important to us that you know how to get the most out of your phone when needed. Satellite phone handsets are not as easy as regular mobile phones, and knowing how to use them correctly will make a huge difference. Our commitment to you is to offer you up to $10 in free calls to practice before you leave.
Satellite Communications Australia-Wide
If you work in remote locations, you need more than just a mobile phone or GPS. If it’s an emergency beacon or voice/text contact back at base, EPIRBhire can help you find the best solution. Whether you are looking to rent, hire or buy a satphone, defibrillator, beacon or communicator.
Life-Saving Technology from EPIRBhire
EPIRBhire has been Australia’s leading provider of EPIRB, PLB, and Satellite Phones for hire and sales since 2002. Our emergency communication devices have directly contributed to 48 rescues since then, saving 39 people in total – five of whom were in dire, life-threatening circumstances.
Are you heading to remote areas that are out of range from the usual communications? Our suggestion, first and foremost, is to take a PLB. A PLB is a dedicated one-off device with a sealed battery and a life of 5 to 10 years. When activated, it transmits a very strong signal on frequencies covering three redundancies that will inform the Australian Rescue Coordination Centre of your location within 5 metres of anywhere on the planet.
Note: The PLB is a far cry from a red SOS button on a phone or tracker that may have a flat battery at the wrong time. There are many more reasons why Panic buttons on devices are not ideal, but they are better than nothing, and the two-way communication is reassuring.
Our Advice is to take a satellite phone and a PLB (we offer the PLB at half price with a phone hire).
Rent or hire Starlink available Australia-wide, Would you like a test run?
We have been using Starlink since November 2021 for all our communications. If you’re interested to know more about our experience or have a test run before you buy, give us a call at 0488 011 203. Ask for Peter.
StarLink is a great product; sadly, the speed is dropping due to the rise in the number of users. We started at 350mbps, then 200 to 150 and now mostly around 150 with the standard Rural or RV, which is still very good for rural Australia. Starlink does not like any trees blocking the view.
Thousands of Happy Customers
At EPIRBhire, we have extensive experience and thousands of happy customers. We can tell you exactly what to expect when you hire equipment with us so you shouldn’t expect any surprises. We provide a $10 phone credit so you can familiarise yourself with the device before you leave because we don’t want the first time you might use the satellite phone to be in an emergency.
