How to place a call

username “guest” and default password “guest”.
3. Once you have signal over 3 bars, tap on the call icon to dial a number and place a call. The prefix “+” by default is entered for you
so that you only need to enter the rest of the number in the format , dial 00 or + > the country code > phone number.

Calling To the Satellite Phone
• To call the sat phone directly from a landline/cell phone, dial : 011 > Satellite Phone Number
For example : 011 8816 1234 5678 (non US/Canada-based phones should use the international dialing prefix 00 instead of 011)
***Calling a sat phone directly is free for the sat phone user but VERY expensive for the caller, who may be billed up to $12/min.
• To call the sat phone using the 2-Stage service, dial : 1 [phone], wait for the voice prompt, enter the 12-digit satellite
phone number. The system will connect the call for you.
***Using the 2-stage service, the caller will only be charged for a standard US call and the minutes will be debited from the sat
phone’s plan.
