Profile: The Satellite Series 9500 Portable Telephone
The main setback of this device is that it needs a direct line of sight to a satellite in order to use it. This means is that you couldn't use it while in the car, your house or in the office unless you had an antenna outside of any one of those places. If you didn't have an antenna for this, you would have to go outside to get a clear path from the phone to the satellite. Another setback is that this device has some dead patches, like all portable phones. Although this phone has a much wider range of coverage than almost anything on the market, there are still places in the world that do not have an agreement with Motorola to service that specific area. Because of this, you could still go on a vacation or travel to some place outside of your hometown only to find that the area doesn't have service for your phone. Representatives from Motorola ensured that the areas not having a service agreement with the company are a minority of places in the world. To see if your area is covered, visit www.iridium.com to find out. The other major problem with this phone is that it costs a lot of money and has a lot of extra charges attached. To purchase this phone by itself, you have to pay around $1,100 to $1,200. That doesn't include the installation fee ($50), monthly charges ($50) and minute rates ($1.80 - $3.79/minute). Also, having to keep track of all the various accessories and dragging them around everywhere you go can become a cumbersome task.
There are some setbacks to this phone, but if you are a frequent continent-hopper, being able to keep in touch with anyone anytime is worth it. Worldwide coverage is a concept that revolutionizes the usage of portable phones. If you have at least a small fortune, it could be a good purchase To find out more information about the Satellite Series 9500 Portable Phone, visit commerce.motorola.com/consumer/ QWhtml/home.html
