US Local Number
The US Local Number option provides a US (+1) phone number that is linked directly to your satellite phone, allowing the PSTN caller to be charged at International Call rates rather than the high charges for calling the 8816 Iridium code direct.  The caller pays for the standard international call to the +1 number, the Iridium account holder pays the satellite portion, charged at the rate above.

Monthly and annual plans are billed from the 1st day of each month to the last day of the month. Any activation days before the 1st will be pro-rated.  All cancellations require 30 days written notice by email to [email protected].  Postpaid plans will automatically renew once your initial subscription period ends.  A valid credit card is required for monthly subscription and overages.  Prices are subject to change without notice.

Iridium Global Coverage Map

Iridium delivers essential communications services to and from remote areas where no other form of communication is available.  Powered by a uniquely sophisticated global constellation of 66 cross-linked Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, the Iridium® network provides high-quality voice and data connections over the planet’s entire surface, including across airways, oceans, and polar regions. Together with its ecosystem of partner companies, Iridium delivers an innovative and rich portfolio of reliable solutions for markets that require truly global communications.
 
At only 780 kilometers from the Earth, the proximity of Iridium’s LEO network means pole-to-pole coverage, a shorter transmission path, stronger signals, lower latency, and shorter registration time than with GEO satellites. In space, each Iridium satellite is linked to up to four others creating a dynamic network that routes traffic among satellites to ensure global coverage, even where traditional local systems are unavailable.
