Whether your holiday season takes you over the river or through the woods, remember your satellite phone in case of emergency. Here are some quick phonebook tips to keep you connected on your Iridium handheld.
So you don't remember the phone number you need to call? No problem, the Iridium phone has a large phonebook memory and two options to store the contact information. The phone itself allows for 100 entries and the mini-SIM card (155 entries). Perfect for such entries as emergency services or even grandma's house to let her know you are running late and to save a slice of pumpkin pie.

To add entries to the phone memory or SIM memory, go to Phonebook > Personal Numbers > Add New Entry > and then follow the prompts. Both phone and SIM card entry is limited to 16 character name and one phone number.

Iridium 9555 phone has a bit more funtionality and allows for entries with multiple phone numbers and an email address. To store entries, go to Menu > My Phonebook > New > and follow the prompts. If you'd like to store entries in the SIM card, use the Iridium Phonebook Tool Software instead of the phone itself. See our post on Iridium Phonebook Tool Software for more information. Like the 9505A, SIM card entry is limited to 16 character name and one phone number.
Benefits of SIM Card Memory
What's great about SIM card memory is that you can simply pop-out the SIM chip and take the entries with you. So if your phone gets damaged or you upgrade to a new one, you won't lose your contact information.
