In the early days of communications ( the years of 1800 ,telegraph ) there was no interference of other networks. Nowedays there are phones with IP chip, gps-chip, identification chips, chips for friends and of course chips for audio recording (voicemail). In the eighties there were these save satellite-phones [Iridium). Are there communication devices without interference of third parties? That;s my question.? |

Has anyone experience with the Iridium 9505A Is it really true that it is relayed via ISS (International Space Station) then MoonData Express (On the dark side of the moon) and finally back to earth for only 2 dollars a minute.? I have heard the signal is absolutely free of any encrypted monitoring software of third parties after this bumpy ride. |

I have not used this satellite phone. According to the Wikipedia article on Iridium (satellite), the 66 active Iridium satellites are in low Earth orbit (485 miles/780 km) and there is no mention of the ISS which orbits at 350 km (217 mi). As far as "MoonData" or "Moon data", you may be confused or pulling our collective leg. Of course there is no "dark side of the moon". All parts of the moon experience day and night. There is a far side of the moon. You may want to consult Wikipedia. SW
