DIALING ON A SATELLITE PHONE

Master dialing on a satellite phone with our step-by-step guide. Learn how to make international and local calls, troubleshoot connectivity issues, and understand the costs associated with satellite communications

1. Turn On the Satellite Phone:

• Press and hold the power button until the phone turns on.
• Allow the phone to acquire a satellite signal. This may take a few seconds to a minute.

2. Ensure Proper Signal:

• Make sure you’re outdoors with a clear view of the sky. Buildings, trees, or other obstructions can interfere with the signal.
• Check the signal strength indicator on the phone’s display.

3. Dialing the Number:

• International Calls: Start with the “+” symbol (press and hold the “0” key to get “+”), followed by the country code, area code, and the phone number.
  • Example: To call a number in the United States, dial +1 (country code) followed by the area code and phone number.
• Local Calls: If you’re calling a local number within the same country, you can just dial the area code and the phone number.

4. Press the Call Button:

• After dialing, press the call or green button to initiate the call.
• Wait for the connection to establish. You might hear a few beeps before the call connects.

5. Ending the Call:

• Press the red button or the “end call” button to hang up when the conversation is over.

6. Additional Tips:

• Voicemail Access: You can access voicemail by dialing your Global Satellite phone’s voicemail number, usually found in the user manual or by contacting our support team.
• Text Messaging: To send a text message, go to the messaging menu, compose your message, and enter the recipient’s phone number in the same format as you would for a call.

Important Tips for DIALING ON A SATELLITE PHONE

• Battery Management: Satellite phones consume more battery than regular phones, particularly when searching for a signal. Keep your device charged and consider carrying a portable charger.
• Costs: Be aware that satellite calls can be significantly more expensive than standard mobile calls. Review your service provider’s rates before making calls to avoid unexpected charges.
• Emergency Calls: Most satellite phones allow you to dial emergency services, but verify this feature with your provider beforehand.
• Keep the Manual Handy: Different models may have specific dialing requirements, so having the user manual accessible can be beneficial.

Troubleshooting Connectivity Issues

Even with the best equipment, you may occasionally experience connectivity problems. Here are some common issues and solutions:

• Weak Signal: If your signal is weak, try moving to an area with fewer obstructions. Tall buildings, dense foliage, and even weather conditions can impact signal quality.
• No Connection: If you cannot connect, ensure that your phone is fully charged, turned on, and has an active SIM card. Restarting the phone may also help.
• Call Drops: If a call drops frequently, it could be due to environmental interference. Move to a more open area and try again.
