For the adventure-hardened traveller! If you’ll need satellite phone coverage often, then buying your own satellite phone will save you those daily rental fees and lower your calling rate.
The Iridium 9555 Satellite Phone is smaller, lighter and more resistant to water, dust and shock than any previous satellite phone. It’ll withstand any of those rugged mountain passes its owner dares to traverse.
You can stay in touch across oceans and all time zones, in remote locations and on the go. One global satellite phone number is all you need to keep you connected.
