Q

How would a shoreside party dial an Iridium terminal on a ship?

🔍 Key Concepts

• How Iridium numbers are formatted (country code 8816 or 8817 for many Iridium mobiles) • Difference between country/national exit code (like 011 from the U.S.) and special satellite gateway or access codes • Whether you normally have to add a # at the end of a complete international number when dialing from a normal landline or mobile

💭 Think About

• When calling FROM shore TO a ship’s Iridium phone, are you making a normal international call, or going through a special satellite gateway first? • Look carefully at which options use the Iridium-style number (8816…) and which option mixes Iridium with Inmarsat-style codes (870…). • Ask yourself: from an ordinary phone ashore, what do you usually dial first to reach ANY foreign country or satellite country-code number?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm which choice correctly treats 881612345678 as an international number that already includes a country code. • Check whether land-based callers normally need to dial any extra symbol such as # after a full number. • Verify that the option you pick does NOT mix Inmarsat and Iridium numbering systems in a way that wouldn’t make sense.
