Instructions on how to use an Iridium satellite phone
Easy dialing instructions for a satellite phone:
Call a satellite phone from a US / Canada landline: 011-8816-XXX-XXXXX
If the call does not go through, it may mean that the caller's long distance service provider may not have international service carrying the 881 Iridium country code (the international prefix for the Iridium Satellite system).
