Yes, you can. The coverage areas of all of the satellite networks differ so it is worthwhile checking the appropriate coverage map. If you are connected on the Inmarsat network, and using your service outside of US, the cost to call back to US will be the same as when you make a local call from within US. Incoming calls to your Inmarsat phone when traveling outside of the US are free on most handset plans. If you are connected to the Iridium satellite network and are using your service outside of US your call rates will be different to those that apply when inside the US.

The Iridium network has full global coverage allowing you to use your phone across the globe, on land or at sea. Your Iridium phone will operate at the standard rates with the US, and outside zone call rates outside of the US. Please refer to the coverage maps for details of these zones.

Normally units need to be paired only one time, then the unit will pair automatically the next time. It is always worthwhile to check your WIFI settings to be sure in future uses.

You must configure the SOS button in order for the SOS to send an emergency message to a designated Call Recipient and Message Recipient. Failure to configure the SOS button may result in no message being sent when the SOS button is pressed. This could prevent or delay an emergency response and result in serious injury or death. Using the Settings menu in the Iridium GO! application, you may configure SOS while paired to the Iridium GO! device. Only one SOS emergency contact setting can be stored per Iridium GO! device, so multiple users will all share the same SOS settings. It is important to plan accordingly. The SOS settings will provide the option to use or not use the GEOS service. To support the SOS feature, Iridium has contracted with GEOS Travel Safety Group to provide an emergency response coordination service for your Iridium GO! at no additional charge. Standard airtime charges will apply to SOS mode messages and/or calls to GEOS; a valid Iridium SIM subscription and online registration at www.geosalliance.com/iridium is required.

Making a call on a satellite phone is very similar to a mobile phone – simply dial the number you want to call by using the numeric keypad and press the send or phone button. Likewise sending a text message is also very similar to messaging on a mobile phone. If you need to call Emergency Services, you just dial 911. There are instructions in the box with the phone for registering your unit with the GEOS International Rescue Centre who work with US Rescue Centers for SOS events. This is a free service for Pivotel Iridium customers.

Before a phone call can be made, the phone needs a GPS fix so it can be located by the satellite. This happens automatically, but if a new GPS fix is needed the GPS fix icon will be displayed on the screen. The phone should be kept in the open with a clear view of the sky until the icon on the screen disappears. Once this is done the phone is now ready to register with the network.
