Learning About Calling
All calls using the Iridium Satellite Network are considered
international calls. When calling Iridium-equipped aircraft,
always use the 8816 Iridium Country Code.
Direct-dialed calls to an AirCell Axxess phone are billed
by long distance providers as international calls. Since
rates vary greatly, check rates before making calls. Or use
two-stage dialing, which may be more cost effective.
Some long distance providers do not recognize the 8816
Iridium Country Code. Two-stage dialing does recognize
the Iridium Country Code.
In the procedures, 00** represents the International Direct
Dial (IDD) access code prefix of the country you are
calling from. In many countries, the IDD code is 00.
See the Appendix for a list of International Direct Dial
(IDD) access code prefixes, as well as Country Codes. For
a more current list, refer to Internet sites such as www.
