Dialing functions
Local numbers and special-purpose numbers
There are a number of dialing functions available in the terminal. The following list shows the
allocated special-purpose numbers for the terminal.
Dialing prefixes
Apart from the numbers above, the terminal uses the following dialing prefixes:
•
#31#
before the phone number will hide the caller’s phone number to the recipient.
•
*31#
before the phone number will show the caller’s phone number to the recipient where it
would otherwise be hidden, e.g. because the number is an ex-directory number.
•
Use R during a call to get access to a supplementary services function. The supplementary
services functions supported by the terminal are described in the following sections.
Note
Remember the “0” when you dial a local phone number. If you accidently dial a 3-digit
number, you may get one of Inmarsat’s short dial numbers.
