At first, dialing from an Iridium satellite phone can seem intimidating, but after learning the quick process, it's quite simple. So let's get started. From Iridium Satellite Phone - to - US Landline
- Make sure the satellite phone antenna is fully extended and positioned straight up when held to your ear and you have a clear view of the sky.
- Turn your phone on and allow time for Registration and signal strength to appear on the display
- Now it's time to dial your contact. There are two ways to do this. For our examples below we'll be calling our U.S. number.
- Press the green send button.
- You will hear several beeps before connection and ringing.
- The easiest way: Press and hold down '0' until a '+' appears on the screen. Then dial the country code, area code, and remaining phone number. (e.g. + 1 480 857 6656)
- OR
- Easy way #2: You can replace the '+' by pressing '00', then the country code, area code, and remaining phone number. (e.g. 00 1 480 857 6656)

Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the PIN#. My frined has a 9505A and his phone doesn't ask for a PIN everytime you turn it on so it is easier to use. How do I get mine to work that way?
Thanks Teri for your question. Removing the PIN from your Iridium satellite phone is easy and here's how to do it.
From any Motorola phone press the Menu button;
scroll to Phone Setup, press OK;
scroll to Require SIM card PIN, press OK;
scroll to OFF, press OK;
re-enter PIN, press OK;
phone will read "Completed".
The process is similar with a Kyocera. Instead of Phone Setup, the menu option will be Security
And that's it! Enjoy your Iridium satellite phone.
