Two Stage Dialing

The minutes will be applied to your rental bill. The person calling you using the Two-Stage Dialing will be charged for a regular long distance call to Tempe, Arizona, USA.

Incoming calls to the Iridium phones are free to the sat phone if dialed directly. This can, however, be very costly to the person dialing (Up to $8.00/minute by some providers). The two stage dialing is meant to keep this cost down by allowing the person dialing to only pay long distance to Arizona and then charging the Iridium user 1.5 minutes per minute talked ($1.88).

Texting is always free incoming to the satellite phone. If an person texts the iridium phone from their personal phone their cost is completely dependent on provider. The online services – The messaging site and text from email - are free to send. If you choose to respond with the satellite phone all outgoing texts (To emails or phone numbers) are charged at 0.5 minute usage. In your case this would be $0.63.
