Send and receive messages – 9505A Receive messages – 9500 and Kyocera • How do I connect to the Internet from my satellite rental phone? To connect to the Internet you will need to rent an Iridium data kit. The data kit hooks directly from the phone to your laptop via a specialized custom cable. **To connect using the data cable, the laptop must have a 9-pin serial connection. If your computer has only USB connections, you will need to purchase a PCMCIA card from Socketcom.com to make use of the kit. Please keep in mind the speed of the Iridium data kit is approximately 9.6kb with compression through WCC’s data software CD.
