There is a way around the cost of calling a satellite phone. Almost all satellite networks have what is called a 2 stage dialing number, which is a local United States number that you can call from any phone, then a message comes on that asks you to enter the satellite phone number that you want to call. Once you enter the number then it will call the sat phone at no additional rates. The only thing is that the call will not be a free call to the person on the sat phone. ..but thats why they have a satellite phone anyway right? We provide all satellite phone sales, rentals, airtime, and more at NorthernAxcess.com . Feel free to contact us anytime at 877.299.9931

Calling from a satellite phone is
more expensive than calling from a cell phone or landline, but satellite phones
have global coverage and you can be in any remote are and be able to makes and
receive calls, with cell phones or landline you have limited coverage. Voice calls
from a satellite phone rates can start from $0.80 to $2.50 per minute depending
the location and type of airtime service you use. Airtime offers prepaid and
post paid plans and regional airtime cards that can give you better rates on
specific areas. Making a phone call to a
satellite phone network is often very expensive it can cost up to $15.00 per
minutes, but some airtime provider like Iridium gives you the option to use a
2-stage dialing system that you can call a local number in the United States
and be connected to a satellite phone and you only get charged for a local
phone call if you reside in the United States.

Yes it is quite a bit more expensive to make calls with a satellite phone. receiving calls is usually free for the person with a satellite phone, but whoever is calling you will be very unhappy when they get their bill. it can cost up to 15$ per minute to call a satellite phone
