Less Than Favourable Review of the ISatPhone

Feuer Frei! · 08-17-11, 11:46 PM

We have used the Iridium phone (9505) during our yacht deliveries for many years. We've always been happy with the phone, but as the Iridium's screen packed up last year and could not be repaired, we were in the market for a new satellite phone. This was around the same time that Inmarsat launched their new IsatPhone Pro. The deal could not be ignored as the phone's price was less than half than a new Iridium. Inmarsat also claimed that their coverage is the same as Iridium's (minus the polar regions). So we bought the IsatPhone Pro and have since then used it on two yacht deliveries. One from the Caribbean to Australia and on another from Martinique to Portugal.

READ ON FOR FINDINGS AND CONCLUSION
