Making Calls to the Iridium Phone
There are two ways to a call an Iridium phone; 'Direct-Dialing',
and '2-Stage Dialing'.
Unfortunately many phones cannot make direct-dialed calls to
satellite phones; even phones that can are often charged at very
high rates. Some telephone providers charge up to $12 per minute
for direct-dialed calls to Iridium phones, therefore callers are first
advised to contact their provider to confirm the cost!
Iridium's 2-Stage dialing system solves these problems by
providing a domestic US number (in Arizona) to call instead. This
means that virtually any phone will be able to call you, and the
caller will only pay for the cost of a call to Arizona. The Iridium
user will be charged an incoming call charge for calls dialed in this
way, however the sum of these two charges is usually far less than
the cost of a direct-dialed call.
