We used the Iridium 9505A from:
Satphone store
We ended up with a $1200 phone bill in just over a month, but we did use it quite a bit. Keep the calls short and the bill can be more reasonable.
The problems with the phone:
You needed to be outside (Central and South America gets hot)
You needed to be free of obstructions
The delay was annoying
EXPENSIVE to use.
Good with the phone:
It worked when I needed it to.
Yours and others results may vary, but those were MY real time experiences it the field.
