Is anybody out there?

The last thing you need when stranded mid-ocean or halfway up a mountain is to lose touch. The Iridium 9555 Satellite Phone is not a fancy handset - it doesn't take pictures or play games - but if you're looking for a rugged communication tool that always works, no matter how rough the environment, it's the way to go. Water-, shock- and dust-resistant it features a retractable antenna that gives you gap-free coverage of the entire planet. Because voice and data are routed among satellites, the connection is both secure and reliable. The menu-driven interface makes it user-friendly for first-time users, as does the illuminated weather-resistant keypad. It can be programmed for automatic dialling. Other features include a speakerphone, SMS and e-mail capability, and a Mini-USB data port. Contact Satellite Communication on 011-402 1166 or visit www.satcomms.co.za
