What is the coverage area for an Iridium satellite phone/pager?
WCC’s Iridium satellite rental phones are capable of making and receiving calls all over the world, including the North and South poles and the oceans. In addition, satellite pagers receive pages/messages anywhere in the world. The only exceptions will be those areas restricted by the U.S. Department of State. Currently, restricted areas include only North Korea. • What is “line of sight” technology and why is it important? The Iridium satellite system functions off of “line of sight” technology which requires the caller to have a clear vision of the sky before making a call. Without a clear line of sight to the sky, the caller could experience dropped calls or even unsuccessful call attempts. • Will an Iridium satellite rental phone/pager work indoors? Iridium Satellite Rental Phone No. Successful use of an Iridium satellite rental phone indoors will be limited without the use of an external Iridium phone antenna, such as a fixed mast antenna.
