Frequently Asked Questions
The Iridium system design relies upon line of sight access to the satellite. In-building coverage for handsets is generally not available. Callers who are unable to reach you on your handset for whatever reason will have the option of leaving a message that will be delivered as soon as the handset has line of sight access to the satellite constellation.
Callers simply dial your satellite phone number, which will be billed to them as an international call with rates set by their phone company.
