Iridium 9555 Satellite Phone

Simple User Guide

This is not a regular cellphone, but it’s easy!

Just follow these 3 simple steps…

1 Go Outside 2 Extend Antenna 3 Switch On

1) Go Outside

Before you switch on the phone ensure that you are outside, away

from buildings and trees, with a clear uninterrupted view of as much

sky as possible.

The phone requires a clear line of sight to the satellites at all times.

The more sky you can see the more reliable the connection will be.

This phone will not work reliably indoors (if at all), even by a

window.

It may be helpful to understand that there are many Iridium

satellites, and that they are continually moving across the sky,

‘handing-over’ your signal from one to another as they pass

overhead. Therefore, it is normal for the signal strength to vary as

the satellites cross your path. If you do not have a sufficiently

expansive clear uninterrupted view of the sky then your received

signal strength may vary dramatically, or even drop altogether, as

you await the arrival of the next satellite. The only solution to this is

to find yourself a position with more sky!

2) Extend Antenna

Fully extend the antenna from the body of the phone, and hold it

vertically.

The antenna works best when it is pointing vertically upwards.

To achieve this it can be pivoted from side to side depending

whether you intend to use the phone in your left or right hand. In

practice however, in favourable signal conditions, this is usually

unnecessary.

3) Switch On

Press and hold the Power button on the top edge of the phone

until the phone switches on (this takes a few seconds).

The display will show “Searching for network” and the

satellite signal strength (maximum 5 bars) will be shown at the top

left of the screen.

Once a satisfactory signal has been acquired the display will show

“Registered” and the phone is ready to make and receive calls.

This whole process should take less than a minute. If the phone has

not successfully registered in this time then it may be necessary to

turn off the phone and retry. The most likely cause for failed

registration, however, will be poor signal strength. For best results

always remember to keep the antenna vertical and to position

yourself away from any local obstructions (buildings, trees, etc.) and

find yourself the best possible view of as much sky as you can.

Making Calls from the Iridium Phone

appropriate country code:

the number you enter.

Just enter the number you wish to dial and press the green key.

For example:

to call another Iridium phone…

8816 xxxx xxxx

by pressing the green key

Making Calls to the Iridium Phone

There are two ways to a call an Iridium phone; ’Direct-Dialing’,

and ‘2-Stage Dialing’.

Unfortunately many phones cannot make direct-dialed calls to

satellite phones; even phones that can are often charged at very

high rates. Some telephone providers charge up to $12 per minute

for direct-dialed calls to Iridium phones, therefore callers are first

advised to contact their provider to confirm the cost!

Iridium’s 2-Stage dialing system solves these problems by

providing a domestic US number (in Arizona) to call instead. This

means that virtually any phone will be able to call you, and the

caller will only pay for the cost of a call to Arizona. The Iridium

user will be charged an incoming call charge for calls dialed in this

way, however the sum of these two charges is usually far less than

the cost of a direct-dialed call.

Direct-Dialing to the Iridium Phone

Call 011 8816 xxxx xxxx

(If calling from outside the USA, the caller must replace 011 with

the appropriate international dial-out code for the country they are

calling from)

2-stage Dialing to the Iridium Phone

1) Call 480-768-2500

2) At the voice prompt, enter the 12 digit Iridium phone number...

8816 xxxx xxxx

Sending Messages to the Iridium Phone

It’s easy to send messages to the Iridium phone – check out the

three options below:

Leave a Voicemail Message

If the Iridium phone cannot be reached (because it is switched off,

out of coverage, or busy on another call) then incoming calls will be

forwarded to the Iridium Voicemail Service.

Important note: The caller may be prompted to re-enter the Iridium

phone number. If so, they must enter the 12 digits only (8816 xxxx

xxxx).

Send a Text Message via the Internet

Sending text messages to Iridium phones from cellphones can be

problematic. A more reliable alternative is to send text messages

from Iridium’s website. It’s quick and easy – and totally free of

charge:

- Visit http://messaging.iridium.com

- Enter the Iridium phone number (8816 xxxx xxxx)

- Type the message in the “Message” box (maximum 160

characters)

- Click “Send Message”

Send a short email

Each Iridium phone has its own email address. It is the 12-digit

Iridium phone number followed by “@msg.iridium.com”.

(8816xxxxxxxx@msg.iridium.com)

Note that emails may contain up to 160 characters only, and that

any text in the ’Subject’ line will not be delivered.

These messages will be delivered to the Iridium phone the next

time it registers with the satellite network.

Voicemail

Leaving a Voicemail Message

If your Iridium phone cannot be reached (because it is switched off,

out of coverage, or busy on another call) then your incoming calls

will be forwarded to the Iridium Voicemail Service.

Important note: The caller may be prompted to re-enter your

Iridium phone number. If so, they must enter the 12 digits only

(8816 xxxx xxxx).

Voicemail Notification

Notification of your new voicemail messages will automatically be

delivered to your Iridium phone either when it is next switched on,

re-establishes coverage, or your current call is ended.

Listening to your Voicemail Messages

To listen to your voicemail messages simply call your own Iridium

number:

8816 xxxx xxxx

At the prompt, enter your Voicemail Password.

This is the last 7 digits of your Iridium Phone Number.

Follow the voice prompts to listen to your messages.

- 1 to play your message(s)

- 7 to delete your message(s)

End the call by pressing the red key

Emergency Calls

911 emergency calls can only be made while in the USA.

Outside the USA you cannot call any emergency service numbers

(911, 112, 999 etc.)

We therefore strongly recommend that you look up the local

numbers of the emergency services in the regions in which you

intend to travel, and store them into your phone.

Remember…

- Before you switch on the phone ensure that you are outside, away

from buildings and trees, with a clear uninterrupted view of as

much sky as possible

- The phone requires a clear line of sight to the satellites at all times

- The more sky you can see the more reliable the connection will be

- This phone will not work reliably indoors, even by a window

- Always fully extend the antenna, and point it vertically

- It is normal for the signal strength to vary all the time

- Always dial in international format, including the country code
