Dialing
to
the Aircraft
All calls to-and-from Iridium telephone systems are considered
international calls. You can direct dial or use two-stage dialing.
Two-stage calls may provide you with more
cost-effective
calling. In two-stage calls, the caller is charged by their long
distance provider for a call to Tempe, Arizona, USA for the
call’s duration. The person in the aircraft is charged low
Aircell per-minute rates - from the time the call connects in
Tempe, until the call ends.
Note:
International customers may or may not save with
two-stage calls, and should first check the rates with their
ground provider.
Note:
US based land and cell phones without international
calling access can use two-stage calling.
Direct dialing may not always be possible, as some long-distance
providers do not recognize the Iridium Country Code (8816).
