Iridium Extreme® 9575 & Iridium 9555

Many boats carry an Iridium phone as a backup emergency device. This is a sound practice and a great safety measure. However, the Iridium GO! exec is a better solution for the following reasons.

GPS Tracking.

The Iridium 9575 extreme has GPS tracking capabilities, but the GPS tracking messages cost US$0.10 each, so the cost for hourly tracking over a month would cost US$74. The Iridium 9555 does not have GPS tracking features, whilst the Iridium GO! exec paired with a DataHub® has GPS tracking. The GO! exec 5MB plan covers hourly GPS tracking for the month at no extra charge.

SOS button.

The Iridium GO! exec and Iridium 9575 have an SOS button for an emergency response service at no additional charge. The Iridium 9555 does not have an SOS button.

Extended battery life.

The GO! exec has 50% more battery life than an Iridium phone, with 6 hours of talk time compared to 4 hours on the Iridium 9575 / Iridium 9555

Voice quality.

The GO! exec has a built-in speaker like you would expect on an Iridium Phone and the same voice quality.

Cheaper than pre pay, with no contracts.

The Iridium GO! exec can be activated on a monthly basis, whilst an Iridium phone often requires a 12-month contract on a postpaid plan. The pre-paid plans require a 12-month expiring usage plan to get an acceptable average monthly cost of approximately US$72/month.

Reusable SIM card.

The GO! exec allows you to activate and deactivate the same SIM card without purchasing additional cards. The Iridium phone postpaid SIM cards have an Iridium US$250 reactivation fee, and to avoid this cost, you need to buy and manage multiple SIM cards.
