The available services allow for a wide range of applications. Examples are
shown below.
Calling an Inmarsat Fleet terminal corresponds to making international calls.
If the satellite region/area is not known for the terminal the “country” code for
a terminal is 870. When you dial up to an Inmarsat Fleet terminal through the
public network, you have to dial the IMN number in addition to the
international access code for Inmarsat, e.g.:
+870 600 555 555
Making calls from an Inmarsat Fleet terminal corresponds to making
international calls, meaning you must always dial the country code.
Important
Before a terminal can be used on the network, it has to be
commissioned by one of the Inmarsat Service Providers (ISPs).
In order to use the different Inmarsat Fleet services it is
necessary to have at least one Inmarsat Mobile Number (IMN)
for each of the above mentioned services. In case all 8 services
are commissioned on your terminal, you will have 8 IMN
numbers.
