How do I call a satellite phone from a landline without incurring high long-distance charges?
Anyone wishing to call an Iridium phone from a landline should use the Two-Stage Dialing platform, which will save you from paying the very high long-distance rates often charged for calls to satellite systems. Dial +1-480-768-2500 and enter their Iridium phone number (a 12-digit number beginning with 8816XXXXXXXX). Note: The Iridium subscriber will also incur an incoming charge for this call.
