Free Iridum incoming calls are not so “free”.

As you may know, all of our satellite telephone rentals are offered with FREE incoming calls to the renter anywhere on the globe. Although these calls are free to the end user, the person dialing the phone number will incur international long distance charges from $3.00-$19.00 per minute to access an Iridium phone. This is because the Iridium system phones carry their own country code and city code unique to their product and USA long distance carriers are free to charge whatever they like to have you directly dial their satellite phones.

Global Cellular Rental currently offers a less expensive method of direct dialing our satellite phones without the long distance “sticker shock” on your home or office phone bill. By providing a local US phone number, our customers can be reached at the discounted rate of $1.99/minute fixed rate per minute. This feature can be added to any of our Iridium phone rentals at no additional charge. Many of our competitors fail to inform the customer of the potential $19.00 minute phone calls and therefore the customer could end up with a home or office phone bill into the thousands. Global Cellular Rental wants your rental experience to be a safe and enjoyable one and everything we do is a means to this end. Please contact us with any questions at 800.931.9773.
