Hope this helps some people stuck on the hard stuff keep in touch with those on the wet stuff. A app for iphone to send free SMS to Inmarsat and Iridium units capable of receiving. Their reply will cost them to send though!
The below describes the app. Which was written for Inmarsat, but the app works on Iridium and Thuraya networks.
Apple iPhone: Satway app
All they have to do is download a free app from the Apple store.
The Satway app – developed by Inmarsat partner Verasat – means that colleagues, friends and relatives can easily keep in touch with loved-ones no matter where they are in the world.
Easy to use*
To use it, you simply enter the number of the person you want to contact and the app automatically detects it's an Inmarsat number.
Then you write and send your SMS – the app will direct it via Inmarsat and you will receive a confirmation message.
The app stores a history of all the messages sent and offers the option to resend them again to the same destination.
Hope its of some use to someone,
Cheers
