Good morning

I write to advise that eligible residents and travellers in rural and remote locations now have just over one month to purchase a new satellite phone before the closure of the long-running Satellite Phone Subsidy Scheme.

The deadline for final subsidy applications to be submitted to the Department of Communications is 31 March 2014. Applications are currently available online at: www.communications.gov.au/satphone or call 1800 674 058 (free call from a landline). Please feel free to refer any interested customers to this website.
