The strongest edge of the Motorola Satellite Phone offered by GlobalCom is its lightweight and compact design. It’s probably the best thing that happened to satellite phone since the industry’s inception because it’s also water, dust, and shock resistant. The Iridium Motorola 9505 is powered by a high capacity battery which supports up to three hours of talk time or 30 hours of stand by. The unit also comes with an AC wall charger, an adapter for international power sockets, a car lighter adapter, an earpiece, an auxiliary antenna, and a leather case. The package also offers an instruction manual for easier handling.

GlobalCom’s satellite phone plan which offers this hand carrier model has a prepaid payment scheme. This means that the Motorola Satellite Phone is ideal for frequent travelers who only need their satellite phones when they go to destinations which are not covered by their cellular providers. Terrestrial cellular sites have limited coverage areas, unlike satellite providers who have stronger signals throughout the planet. It’s also more practical to keep satellite phones when you travel halfway across the globe, because these satellite phone plans have cheaper roaming fees.

The interface of the Motorola Satellite Phone is easy to read and access. The system has a 21 language prompt option which makes using the satellite phone easier for a number of non-English speaking users. This satellite phone is also perfect for emergency calls with its one-touch dialing. The Motorola Satellite Phone unit also comes with a one year warranty.
