How does the rental process work?

1. Choose your rental duration (in week + extra days). Your rental starts on the day the phone is received, and ends when you give it back to FEDEX.
2. Choose your airtime package. If you use more than you prepaid, don’t worry, the phone will keep working. We will bill you for what you use over your prepaid airtime at $1.75/minute.
3. Choose any optional accessories. The one time price shown is for the entire rental period.
4. If you want damage insurance, check the box. Loss, theft or confiscation is not covered.
5. Choose your shipping method. Fedex 2nd day is our standard shipping method.
6. Choose the Return Shipping Label. This is a required item.
7. Select the date you wish to receive the phone, at least one day prior to your departure date.
8. Let us know if you have any special requirements for your satellite phone rental.
9. Add your order to the Cart to see your total, and Check out normally.
10. We will FedEx the phone to arrive at the delivery address on the date specified.
11. When you finish with the phone, put it back in the box it came in, and stick on the return label. Give the box to FEDEX or drop it in a drop box.
12. We will bill you for the airtime you use (in excess of what was purchased), and any extra days.
13. That’s all there is to it!

Question: Are incoming calls free?
Answer: Yes, they are free to the sat phone, but the caller will be charged by their local phone company for an international call. We recommend having your callers send a free text message to the sat phone instead.

Question: Can I send and receive text messages with a satellite phone?
Answer: Yes. Incoming text messages from the Inmarsat.com website are free. Outbound text messages are billed to the satellite phone at .75/each.

Question: Can I connect to the internet with a satellite phone.
Answer: Yes, but is so slow, about 1/20th of dial-up speed, that it is mostly useless. You need a data cable to do this.

Question: Can I call other satellite phone carriers like Iridium, Thuraya and Globalstar?
Answer: Calls from an Isatphone rental phone to other satellite carriers like Iridium, Thuraya and Globalstar are very expensive. These guys do not play together nicely. Your cost will be $9 per minute for this type of call. Just don’t do it! This service is best used to call cell phones, landlines, or other Isatphone 2 phones.
