Calls originating from a TracPhone V7 system are terminated in the
United States. Therefore, to place a call, you will need to dial as if you
are calling from the U.S., regardless of your vessel's location. Follow
the steps below to place a call via the TracPhone V7.
1. Make sure the TracPhone V7 system is turned on and
connected to the mini-VSAT Broadband service (the
control unit shows "Online"). Also make sure the
"RUN" light on the MTA is lit green.
2. Pick up the handset on any phone connected to the
MTA. You should hear a dial tone.
3. Dial the phone number you wish to call.
If you are calling within the U.S.:
Dial 1 + Area Code + Local Phone Number
If you are calling outside of the U.S.:
Dial 011 + Country Code + Area Code + Local Phone Number
For example, if the country code is 99, the city code is 77, and
the local number is 555-8888, dial 01199775558888.
NOTE: When you make a VoIP call via the mini-VSAT Broadband service,
your voice travels 22,300 miles (35,900 km) into space, then 22,300 miles
(35,900 km) back to Earth, just like any other satellite voice service. This
lengthy transit will necessarily cause a brief delay (approximately 0.5 second)
in your telephone conversations, even at the fastest speeds.
Follow the steps below to record your VoiceMail personal greeting.
1. Pick up the handset on any phone connected to the
MTA. You should hear a dial tone.
2. Dial 123 on the telephone keypad to connect to the
VoiceMail system.
3. Press 2 to access your mailbox.
4. Press 1 to access your personal greeting.
5. Press 2 to change your greeting. You will be prompted
to record your greeting.
6. Press 1 to listen to your personal greeting.
7. When you are satisfied with your greeting, press 3 to
accept and activate your greeting. You will hear the
message "Your personal greeting has been activated."
