matt215 3 Posted July 29, 2010 Ok I think I asked about this one before, but I just wanted to get the latest opinions. I'm looking to buy an Iridium sat phone for dive travel. Is there much difference between these different models? How about a used one? What have you guys learned from your experience using these? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canuck 3 Posted July 29, 2010 I own an Iridium 9505A. I am satisfied with it. It works everywhere. That is the bonus. Battery lasts a long long time. Bandwidth is thin ... voices sound odd. But fine once you get used to it. Usage is reasonably priced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike L 0 Posted July 30, 2010 Ive rented both the 9505 and the newer 9555, and I will say the new one is MUCH smaller and lighter. From looking online, its only a $100-$200 difference in price. If you are going to buy, Id definitely say get the 9555. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matt215 3 Posted July 30, 2010 did you notice a difference in quality of calls between the two? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
