Additional Phone Lines
The MTA supports two phone lines, one for each “PHONE” jack. If
your vessel requires more than two phone lines, you may install one or
two additional MTAs (KVH part #19-0504) to enable up to four
additional lines. KVH also offers a Crew Calling Gateway (KVH part
#72-0349) that adds an additional, dedicated line to the system for use
by crew and charter passengers. Contact your dealer/distributor for
details.
Phone Numbers for Incoming Calls
During activation, the two lines of your MTA were assigned phone
numbers with the country code and area/city code of your choice.
This allows people on shore within those regions to call your vessel
and avoid long distance or international calling charges, regardless of
your vessel’s location.
For an additional monthly fee, you may associate up to five virtual
“local numbers” to each of the MTA’s phone lines, allowing people
calling from additional countries to avoid long distance or
international fees. For example, if you are running a business from
your vessel, and you have many customers who live in France, you
could set up a virtual number that allows customers in France to call
your vessel using a French “local number.” To set up virtual phone
numbers, contact KVH’s Airtime Services Department (see
for contact information).
NOTE: Each virtual number you set up will forward calls to a specific phone
line and jack on the vessel’s MTA (whichever line you requested during
setup). Only phones that are connected to that jack will ring when someone
dials the virtual number.
