Electric Bug is a licensed Pivotel Dealer in Adelaide. We can assist with satellite phone sales, repairs, sat phone plan changes and connections. Electric Bug and Pivotel provide postpaid satellite phone plans to suit all satellite phone models and usage levels. We also offer group plans which gives you multiple phone plans at a discount.
Whether you’re needing a phone for a remote trip or are looking for a custom solution for your large remote or marine business, we can help.
We offer plans through Pivotel. The available plans will depend on what type of satellite phone you have. Thuraya, Iridium and Inmarsat each operate their own network, therefore each device is locked to that network. You have the option of month-to-month casual sat phone plans or a 12 month contract. Your SIM can also be put on suspension if you do not need it for a few months, which ensures you keep your phone number.
