Can I send a fax through an Iridium phone using either Data Service offered?
No. This service is not currently available. We recommend you investigate into eFax services in which no fax machine is required or the Iridium Fax Adapter. • Can I still get text messages while on a data call? Yes, you can still receive Iridium text messages while on a data call. The phone will provide an audio alert and then prompt you to read the message. This will NOT interrupt a data call or cause loss of a connection. • Can I use a Solar Charger to charge both my Iridium phone and my laptop computer at the same time? No. The solar charger is designed specifically to charge the Iridium phones. • Can I use my existing Iridium phone for a data call? Yes. You can use your Iridium 9500, 9505 or 9505A Satellite Phone, either as stand-alone units or coupled with the Docking Station to place a data call when connected via serial cable and Iridium Data software for Windows. This can be performed with use of the VAD Unit, ComCenter, Docking Station or ComCenter with Tracking also. All Irid
