Satellite Phones
Handheld phones that work where cell networks do not. We supply Iridium, Inmarsat and Thuraya handsets with the SIM card and airtime to match.
Iridium Extreme 9575
Iridium’s most rugged handset, with global coverage including both poles, a programmable SOS button and GPS location sharing. Also available on long-term lease.
Iridium 9555
A compact Iridium handset with the same pole-to-pole coverage, for users who want a smaller, lighter phone.
Iridium Extreme PTT
The Extreme 9575 with Iridium Push-To-Talk: instant one-to-many group calls over the Iridium network, as well as normal phone calls.
Iridium GO! exec
A portable Wi-Fi hotspot that connects your smartphone or laptop to the Iridium network for calls, messages, email and light data.
Inmarsat IsatPhone 2
A rugged, cost-effective handset with long battery life, covering most of the world between roughly 76°N and 76°S.
Thuraya handsets
Thuraya covers Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Australia, but not the Americas. Ask us which network suits your trip before you buy.
Which network is right for you?
Iridium is the only network with coverage at both poles, so it works everywhere on Earth. Inmarsat covers roughly 76°N to 76°S. Thuraya and Globalstar cover selected regions. Tell us where you will be and we will recommend the network and plan.

Before you buy
Satellite phones need a direct line of sight to the satellite, so they do not work inside buildings or vehicles unless used with an external antenna. Trees, hills and tall buildings can block the signal.
Satellite phones cannot call emergency numbers such as 911, 112 and 999, with one exception: they can reach 911 when used in the United States.
Some countries restrict the use or possession of satellite equipment. Check with the embassy of each country you will visit or pass through before you travel. Using Iridium in Russia requires registration before entry, and Inmarsat services are no longer available in India.
