Incoming Call Routing

One of the most common questions when people are finding out about satellite phones is “how much does it cost to call a satellite phone?”. The answer to this depends on which satellite network is being called, and which landline or mobile supplier you are using to make the call. But to give an example, to use a BT phone to call an Iridium satellite phone will cost more than £3.50 a minute. Bills to call satphones can quickly reach high levels, particularly if you or other people in your office or home are making regular calls to satellite units in the field.

Please note that satellite telephones require a direct line of sight from the antenna to the satellite. Therefore, phones do not work inside buildings or vehicles unless used with an external antenna. Service in outdoor locations with trees, hills, mountains, buildings or other similar structures or geographical features may impair or prevent the use of satellite communication equipment.

Please note that text messaging service on satellite phones may not be possible to terrestrial mobile phones.
