Iridium 9505A satellite phone

Read full article here...

The Iridium 9505A is a satellite phone with fast signal acquisition and a semi-rugged chassis that makes it resistant to water and shocks. Unfortunately, it is expensive and doesn't offer GSM network access.

The Iridium 9505A satellite phone is quite big. Rubber around the sides of the phone reduces the impact of shocks, and the buttons are designed to prevent water from seeping into the electronics (it's water resistant, not waterproof). If you're planning to travel over rough country, it will stand up to a fair bit of bumpy driving.

The Iridium 9505A's rotatable antenna sits at 45 degree angle when the phone is held vertically. This is so that when you are making a call, the antenna points directly upwards. When the antenna is rotated in line with the handset it can make the phone awkward to carry, but it's easily detachable for portability.

Iridium prides itself on being a work-focussed, no-frills satellite phone maker, and the lack of smartphone features supports this. Unlike the Thuraya SG-2520 satellite phone, which offers a built-in camera, picture-based menu system and MP3 player, the Iridium 9505A is a basic handset that has a simple list-format menu and a monochrome display.
