Voice Call Using Iridium Prepaid Platform (Iridium GoChat™)
Iridium Pilot uses a dedicated phone for crew calling which requires an Iridium GoChat card (see your service
provider for information on how to purchase an Iridium GoChat card). Placing a call requires pressing a
dedicated speed-dial button, then entering the phone number followed by the #. At the prompt enter your
scratch card pin number. Additional instructions are listed on each crew phone.
Follow these steps when calling using Iridium GoChat™:
1. Connect the handset to the BDE.
2. Press the dedicated speed-dial button.
3. Type in the country code, followed by the phone number, then the # key.
4. At the prompt enter your scratch card pin number.
For example:
country code + local phone number + #
PIN Feature
The PIN feature is only available for a "Standard" line.
• To disable PIN, dial *70*<PIN>#
• To enable PIN, dial *71*<PIN>#
• To change PIN, dial *72*<old PIN>*<new PIN>*<new PIN>#
• To change AND enable PIN, dial *73*<old PIN>*<new PIN>*<new PIN>#
If PIN is enabled, a user making call will need to enter PIN before other dialed digits; e.g.,

Regardless if PIN is enabled or not, PIN is NEVER required for emergency calls and supplementary service code
(including PIN feature) dialing.
