Yes, one of our aircraft has an Iridium phone. Can be useful on occasions but in view of the multiple sectors we fly, often in in busy airspace we actually tend to use our mobiles on the ground far more often. We can't use the phone until the aircraft has a generator on line.

Our company boss and senior passengers used it a few times when it was a novelty item but now it seems to be mainly forgotten!
