Satphone experiences...
never used one. Any real issues you would need to be aware of?

I also use an Iridium 9505A, though if I could swing the newer 9555, I definitely would. Smaller, better build quality. I do not keep it activated, but I do keep a few spare new SIM cards in case I ever do (get yours on Amazon- good prep item!) along with activation instructions from both a US and international provider in case one of them is down.
I've used this model before with good results, and loaned one to my parents on their trip to Israel recently, but mine is for emergency use only due to the standing expense otherwise. I have the magnet mount vehicle antenna puck fixed to the driver-front corner of my hood, so I do not need to stand outside to use it.
