Pocketphone is proudly West Australian owned and operated. The company was founded at the beginning of the mobile communications industry in WA and for over 14 years has seen the industry progress from the early 007 service, through 018/015 analogue (AMPS), to the digital networks 041 GSM and the still growing 042 CDMA service. This makes the company one of the most experienced mobile phone specialists in WA today.
Pocketphone was one of the earliest satellite dealers, initially appointed by Telstra Mobile Satellite & Radio Services as a MiniSat dealer, then as a Xantic Mini M Dealer following the formation of this joint venture company by Telstra. The Pocketphone satellite portfolio now includes Mini M, Inmarsat C, Iridium and Globalstar.
Pocketphone has a long-standing partnership in place with Telstra and is rated as a Premium Dealer. The relationship enables Pocketphone to work with Telstra staff in the servicing of major business customers, government customers and small to medium businesses. A complete range of mobile phones is offered from the world's leading manufacturers including Nokia, Siemens, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, Panasonic, and more, Pocketphone is able to tailor a mobile communications solution for any user, from a single phone to a large corporate account.

Pocketphone has a strong retail presence at the Whitford's City Shopping Centre at Hillary's in the northern suburbs of Perth. The centrally located Mt Hawthorn Business Centre provides easy access to the Perth CBD and the local industrial area of Osborne Park. The newer Kewdale branch is located right in the heart of the Kewdale/Welshpool industrial area and conveniently located to service the needs of many business customers in the southern suburbs of Perth. The Geraldton store is ideal for those organisations operating in the Midwest of WA. Pocketphone aims to service business customers with a team of sales staff on the road as well as the convenient locations of its stores.
Pocketphone has been a leader in the local industry in moving from a solely retail focussed shop front approach to a solutions focused company seeking to serve the needs of its business customers. This change in strategy was in response to the needs of its business customers over the past few years. Pocketphone now offers clients a consultancy style service for identification of options to address the needs of a wide cross section of businesses.
For example Pocketphone can provide programs that can be loaded on to many mobile phone handsets themselves, perhaps addressing the reporting needs of companies, or assisting with job dispatching to improve business efficiency and productivity. Pocketphone is also a leader in the provision of vehicle tracking solutions - offering choices based on GSM, CDMA, GPRS, 1X and satellite. It operates with a wide range of computing hardware, from PDA's with inbuilt mobile phones to separate PDAs, laptops and communications hardware suitable for integration with your own hardware.
Pocketphone was recognised by Telstra as Data Dealer of the Year in 2003 as well as receiving the MD's Award for Innovation. These national awards were proudly received in October 2003 and reflect the input of a number of staff and partners in the provision of solutions.
The company aims to build long term relationships of benefit to its customers and is always happy to demonstrate its flexibility when partnering to address the mobility needs of a customer. If you need a solution involving mobile communications then we want to try and help.
