Frequently Asked Questions (Satellite Phone Rental FAQ)
Question: Will this phone work where I’m going?
Answer: Inmarsat satellite phones and internet terminals work almost anywhere in the world, as long as you have an open clear view of the sky. Please check the coverage map to determine if the device will work in your area. Note: You can not take this device to Cuba, North Korea or India without government permission.
Question: Will this device work inside a boat/car/airplane/house?
Answer: No. The satellite terminal must have a direct line of sight to the satellite. This device is not designed to be used in or on a moving platform. It must be stationary to be properly pointed at the satellite.
Question: When does the rental period start and end?
Answer: The rental starts on the day you receive the device, and ends on the day you give it back to FEDEX for return shipment.
Question: How long will the battery last?
Answer: It will last about 24 hours in standby mode (on but not transmitting). It will last for about 2.5 hours of talk/internet time.
Question: Are incoming calls free?
Answer: Yes, they are free to the iSavi terminal, but the caller will be charged by their local phone company for an international call. We recommend have your callers send a free text message to the terminal instead.
Question: Can I send and receive text messages with a satellite internet terminal?
Answer: Yes. Incoming text messages are free. Outbound text messages are billed to the satellite terminal. All airtime bundles include a set text messages at no additional charge.
Question: Can I connect to the internet?
Answer: Yes, that is exactly where this device shines over standard voice only satellite phones.
Question: Can I call other satellite phone carriers like Inmarsat, Thuraya and Globalstar?
Answer: Calls from an inmarsat satellite terminal or phone to other satellite carriers like Iridium, Thuraya and Globalstar are very expensive. These guys do not play together nicely. Your cost will be $11 per minute for this type of call. Just don’t do it! This service is best used to call cell phones, landlines, or other Inmarsat phones or BGAN terminals.
