Placing Calls to the Aircraft from the Ground
Placing a call to an AirCell ST 3100-equipped aircraft through the
Iridium Network is quick and easy. You can either dial direct, or use
two-stage dialing.
Two-Stage Dialing to the Aircraft from the Ground
Two-stage dialing is generally the most cost-effective method of calling
an AirCell ST 3100-equipped aircraft. Using this method, the calling
party is charged by their long distance provider for a call to Tempe,
Arizona, USA for the call’s duration. The called party (in the aircraft) is
charged AirCell per-minute charges, from the time the call connects in
Tempe, until the call is ended.
How to use two-stage dialing:
1
Dial the Iridium Call Routing Center:
From USA/Canada: Dial 1.480.768.2500.
From outside USA/Canada: Dial 00** (IDD) +
1 (USA Country Code) + 480.768.2500.
2
When prompted, dial the 8816 (Iridium Country Code) +
XXX.XXXXX (Iridium Phone Number you are calling).
The call is routed to the aircraft. If the system is registered on
the network, the phone will ring in 4–6 seconds.
Direct Dialing the Aircraft from the Ground
When direct dialing an Iridium-equipped aircraft, there may be a
pause of up to 25 seconds as the system completes your call.
How to use direct dialing:
USA/Canada: Dial 011 (IDD) + 8816 (Iridium Country Code) +
XXX.XXXXX (Iridium Phone Number).
Outside USA/Canada: Dial 00** (IDD Access Code Prefix) +
8816 (Iridium Country Code) + XXX.XXXXX (Iridium Phone
Number you are calling).
