  • The change generally starts on the 1st of the month
  • You can activate or reactivate your service and use your saved number any day of the month
  • What is my phone number?
    When your satellite phone has been connected, in many cases you will be allocated a standard local number starting with your country code; for example +1 in the United States and Canada, or +44 in the United Kingdom. This is the phone number to dial to call your phone, just like a cell phone. Some airtime plans and prepaid services will assign you a standard satellite phone number; for example +8816 for Iridium.

    In most cases, your satellite phone or terminal can display the number assigned to the phone. Please refer to your phone user manual for instructions.

    You can also find your number in the initial activation confirmation and "Dialing Instructions" email that we send when you first activate your service.

    We recommend using International formats to store and dial calls, which means your satellite phone number will be +1XXXXXXXXXX To call numbers from your handset you need to dial using the international format for example +1XXXXXXXXXX.
