This is a recommended firmware upgrade, meaning that the features introduced by the firmware are important but not critical for the GSPS service including the network and the IsatPhone 2 (Model 2.1) handset.

To check you have the latest version on your IsatPhone 2.1, go to Menu > Settings > About > Firmware version.
