How to make a call to a satellite phone practically for free?
This article will discuss the rules for dialing a satellite phone with minimal economic costs.
It is well known that the cost of a call from the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), the alternative telephone network of VOIP operators, as well as from the cellular mobile network to the subscriber number of terminals and telephones operating in the satellite mobile network is considered quite high, it can reach twenty US dollars per minute.
Below are some tips on how to make almost free calls to satellite telephones, terminals of satellite mobile networks Thuraya, Globalstar, Iridium, Inmarsat.
How to call an Iridium satellite phone almost free?
Making calls at the expense of the called user can be used in situations where the caller does not have the technical or financial ability to make direct calls to Iridium system subscriber numbers.
Of course, before using this method, it is advisable to first agree with the called subscribers, whose personal account you will use to withdraw funds to pay off incoming calls, so that the fact of taking funds from the personal account does not become an unpleasant surprise, which could lead to further more unpleasant natural consequences, such as blocking a number due to exhaustion of paid air time, and so on.
In addition, you should activate the very possibility of dialing to subscriber numbers with the cost of calls written off from the personal accounts of Iridium subscribers, which can be done by the service provider either immediately with the purchase of a satellite telephone and activation of airtime packages, possibly later upon requests from subscribers.
To start using this service, you need to purchase a dial-up card with the required denomination, after which you will be given the PIN code required to access the gateway. After this, you can call the numbers of Iridium network subscribers.
There are 2 options for dialing Iridium subscriber numbers at their expense:
1) First option: Assigning a specially allocated telephone number to an Iridium subscriber + subsequent redirection of incoming calls to the real telephone number of any subscriber of the Iridium satellite network.
This method is considered faster in terms of the period of time required to establish connections with the subscriber, but this option assumes a monthly constant payment for the use of a dedicated telephone number, as well as payment per minute for incoming calls with subsequent debiting of these funds from the personal account of the real Iridium subscriber.
The cost of one minute of call for callers using such a dial-up card, in this case, will be almost negligible, amounting to a few cents.
2)Second option: Calls to Iridium satellite phones via an American gateway.
This method will require a slightly longer period of time to establish a strong connection with the Iridium subscriber, since for this it is necessary to first establish a connection with the American gateway. After a connection has been established with the gateway, the caller is asked to dial the 12-digit number of a real Iridium network subscriber and remain on the line until the connection with the desired subscriber is established. If user phones operate in pulse modes, before dialing Iridium subscribers, you will need to switch the tone mode by pressing the asterisk button.
For every 60 seconds of conversation, a certain amount will be debited from the called subscriber’s account. The cost of one minute of call for callers using such a dial-up card, in this case, will be almost negligible, amounting to a few cents.
As a result, using one of the two above methods allows the caller to make calls to telephone sets and terminals of the Iridium satellite network almost free of charge, and the called subscribers will pay quite reasonable amounts compared to the price of calls from PSTN telephone networks, alternative Internet telephony networks, cellular mobile communication networks.
