Using automated voice prompts, the calling party enters the Iridium subscriber’s phone number (8816……). The system will identify the IRIDIUM subscriber and put the call through to the Iridium phone. If the irdium phone is not available, the caller will have the option to leave either a numeric or a voice mail message, if voicemail service is activated. The voice prompts on this platform are provided in the English language only. The calling party is charged long distance rates from their origination point to Iridium’s 2 stage dialing platform in the Tempe Gateway through their own LD carrier. The Iridium customer is charged according to the given 2 stage dialing fee.
