What's included
Iridium Global Coverage Map
Iridium delivers essential communications services to and from remote areas where no other form of communication is available. Powered by a uniquely sophisticated global constellation of 66 cross-linked Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, the Iridium® network provides high-quality voice and data connections over the planet’s entire surface, including across airways, oceans, and polar regions. Together with its ecosystem of partner companies, Iridium delivers an innovative and rich portfolio of reliable solutions for markets that require truly global communications.
At only 780 kilometers from the Earth, the proximity of Iridium’s LEO network means pole-to-pole coverage, a shorter transmission path, stronger signals, lower latency, and shorter registration time than with GEO satellites. In space, each Iridium satellite is linked to up to four others creating a dynamic network that routes traffic among satellites to ensure global coverage, even where traditional local systems are unavailable.

Excellent phone.
Review by
Conrad (Amazon)
Cigarette charging cord broke the first time I used it offshore. Imagine my situation. I'd just entered the Gulf Stream, crossing it at its widest and this was my sole form of communication.
I managed to make it work for a few days with jury rigged contacts and leaving it in the plug. Eventually this fell apart and I was able to charge it running a generator and an AC outlet.
Safety equipment needs to be high quality. This poorly designed charging cord will let you down should be handled carefully.
The rest of the equipment was faultless. I love the phone. The texting feature is awkward but usable and cheap. You get many text messages per minute. I'm not sure how many I forgot but it's probably at least 12 per minute if not more. So if you don't mind tedious button presses, and awkward shifts in case and special characters, it's a cheap effective means of staying in touch whilest offshore..

Great for the remote outdoors
Review by
Rickey C. Miller
This is a must have for any adventurer, part time or full time. If you hunt, hike, bike, climb, or are in a remote area, this thing can save you. I have it set up to dial three different emergency numbers when using pre-paid minutes. The clarity is great in a non-obstructed sky or in a convertible/sunroof. The phone will do emergency dialing only if you don't have any minutes. The timeframes on the cards are strict so buy what you need on your next adventure.
I have not used any wifi capabilities with the available accessories. Yet I can't imagine emailing someone while a bear is chasing...

The best Iridium so far.
Review by
Hugh
I have used all the Iridium sat phones over the years. I like this one the best. The GPS and emergency button are what sold it for me. The only down side is a somewhat flimsy charging cradle that clips onto the bottom of the phone which makes it much larger, though you can keep it attached and it will still fit in the leather case (the Velcro bottom has room).

Any call, anywhere.
Review by
K. Gray
This is the best handset produced for use with the Iridium Satellite network. Now, before I go on gushing about how it has inbuilt GPS and can transmit your location from anywhere in the world to anywhere in the world, or how you can make a call and send SMS in the backest of back country wilderness, let me remind that this is a satellite phone, so a few caveats apply:
1. You must have a clear view of the sky and have line of sight to the satellite. The phone may work ok in thin cover or out from a window, but performance will be inconsistent.
2. Iridium was designed in the late 1980s/early 1990s. Back then, a 28.8k modem was considered to be screaming fast. I am sure 2.4k data speeds from outer space sounded really cool back then, but today it is not really practical for anything other than short text messaging.
3. The equipment is designed for people who need remote communications. Period. There is no camera, no music player, no appstore, nothing you would expect from a modern smartphone.
That said, the handset is easy to use. Just power up, wait for a signal and make a call. From power on to calling takes about 30 seconds. SMS is a little more complex, but no more than on old style flip phones. Iridium's SMS service is send and receive and the satellite network will queue incoming SMS until you are in range of a satellite. The voice quality is nothing to get excited about, but considering the fact that the signal is flying through space, the clipping/compression is tolerable. The 9575 has the best audio quality of any other previous Iridium equipment. And look at it this way, you can tell all your friends, "hey, I'm calling you from my satellite phone". Sort of a way to relive the early days of cellular from the 80s.
Battery life is excellent. The phone can standby for a couple of days and give hours of active use. Spare batteries are easy to come by. Try to do this with an iPhone.
The one drawback is the requirement to carry around a special end piece to charge the phone or use data. The piece is not as rugged as the phone and prone to getting lost. No end piece, no battery charge, no phone home.
As far as phone build quality, I could hammer nails with mine. I probably won't considering what I paid for it, but if you need something that can just be tossed in a backpack or worn on a toolbelt, this is the product for you.
As far as dust/water protection goes, the phone is excellent. It is "jet water resistant", so if you'd like to take it to the airport and hold it in front of a 747 exhaust during a hurricane, the phone will survive. Good to know. Seriously, the phone is protected against rain/spray ingress. It is not waterproof, so if it goes in the water it's finished, but for virtually any condition imaginable, this phone will be fine.
If you need a phone that can make a call from just about anywhere, this is your answer. Of all the handheld satphones, Iridium Extreme has the best balance of coverage, features, and ergonomics. You really feel like the phone is ready for anything.

Great Phone - Pre Paid Services not at all cost effective.
Review by
Vivek B. (Amazon)
Great Set! Been wanting to get one for a long time. Now need to go through the process of activating it and maintaining a contract so that its truly useful. Wish the prepaid options were more cost effective cause they are just not worth the money. would give five stars if the pre paid packages were cost effective.

The inclusion of the gps makes this a great emergency phone.
Review by
Stanley S. Glaros (Amazon)
I enjoy having the ability to send my current location in case of an emergency with the built in GPS. The panic button to enable that function was a great idea. I enjoy the more rugged aspect. The data transmission rate is a drawback.

It works but not like your cell phone. Look at all the stuff it takes to work and charge this thing! Phone is quality but the rest does not match. But if you need it, it works.

“What sets the Iridium Extreme handset apart is the SOS and on-board GPS. You can quickly and easily send for help and responders can be notified of your exact location, so a search and rescue simply becomes a rescue.”
