Toll-Free 800 Numbers to Call an Iridium Satellite Phone

Toll-Free 800 Numbers to Call an Iridium Satellite Phone

So many satellite phone companies advertise “Free Incoming Calls” to the Iridium satellite phone user. However, callers to the satellite phone are not aware of the extremely high call rates to call the Iridium Satellite Network.

Yes, incoming calls are usually free for the satellite phone user but chances are the satellite phone user is paying the bill on the other end if the calls are coming from their home or office.

Being in the satellite phone sales industry for so many years, I have heard about clients receiving charges of up to $20 per minute to call an Iridium satellite phone.

What you want your friends or family charged up to $20 per minute to call an Iridium satellite phone? Of course not, then Iridium service providers or Iridium vendors should offer a toll free number or 800 number to call an Iridium phone.

I would recommend satellite phone or BGAN satellite phone companies charging a small fee to add a so called Iridium Toll Free or 800 numbers to call the Iridium satellite phone. By doing so, it will create a WIN-WIN situation for both the satellite phone user and the Iridium service provider.

How would having a Toll-Free number to call the Iridium satellite phone be a WIN-WIN? Well, customers will not feel ripped off or lied to for one and satellite phone companies will have that extra airtime revenue on the incoming calls.

Satellite phone or Telecom customers want options and solutions that will make their iridium or remote voice and data experience a great one. So why not be the one satellite phone company to offer that Iridium Toll-Free solution.

The toll free number option to call an Iridium phone can just be a main toll-free number where anyone can call and then enter the satellite phone number, or better, have a toll free number assigned to the satellite phone unit directly.

Either way, a toll free telephone number would be a great feature to have with any satellite phone rental or purchase in order to save callers money and keep Iridium clients returning satisfied.
