| Will my Iridium satellite handset work inside buildings? | |
The Iridium system design relies upon line of sight access to the satellite. In-building coverage for handsets is generally not available. Callers who are unable to reach you on your handset for whatever reason will have the option of leaving a message that will be delivered as soon as the handset has line of sight access to the satellite constellation.

How does someone call me on my satellite phone and what do they pay? | |
| Callers simply dial your satellite phone number, which will be billed to them as an international call with rates set by their phone company. | |
| Do I need an Iridium phone number to use the Iridium satellite service? | |
Yes you do. When you rent an Iridium satellite phone from Rent A Satellite we will provide you with an Iridium sim card and telephone number.
