Toxic Tech sat. phones.
Permalink  

Hi every one. I'm the new boy on the block as I just joined your forum yesterday, although I've been on the road for the last 40 years. (We've been running 4WD safaris all over Aust). Now has anyone got any comments on the service of these Toxic Tech phones that use only one satellite? We've been using Iridium phones successfully but I'm attracted to the pre paid aspect of the Toxic Tech. Regards, Gezza.

 I have a web site that checks if sites are active or off the air - http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/http://www.toxictech.com.au/default.html  - You too can use it to see if something is off the air or just your system not responding. At present It is showing that toxic is not so toxic.

It appears that Toxic Tech has been toxic for quite some time.

 Bill, if you are referring to my link, it still works for me. May be something to do with your browser, it works in FF, Safari and Chrome. If you can't get it to work use http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ and copy the required URL into the search box.
