Even though the older sat phones are no longer in production they are fully functional. Motorola and Kyocera also made some satellite pagers (out of production) and those are functional as well. The only Iridium phone in current production is the 9555. There are advantages of each model. For example the 9505a is physically tougher phone then 9555.
