Can I send a Text Message to Another Satellite Phone or Cell Phone?
Yes, IsatPhone short messaging to other IsatPhone units, other types of satellite phones or to cellular services is possible and is called text-to-text messaging. IsatPhone-to-Email is called text-to-email messaging. Both features allow standard texting and predictive texting. The predictive texting feature can be toggled on and off using the button at the bottom right of the keypad. Each individual outbound message has a maximum size of 160 Latin characters (or about 74 non-Latin characters). Up to 10 outbound messages can be concatenated to form a 1600-character “long” message which would be billed separately as a series of 160-character maximum regular SMS messages.
