How to make Pivotel Satellite phone calls and/or send SMS messages:

National Calls & Mobile Calls

To make a standard national call simply enter the area code and number – for
example to call a xed line number in Queensland simply dial 07 XXXX XXXX and
to dial a standard national mobile number, including a call to another Pivotel
Satellite number, simply dial 04XX XXX XXX. You can also dial 13, 1300 and 1800
numbers just as they are advertised without entering any special codes.

International Calls

To make an international call simply enter the number in the format + <country
code> <area code> <phone number>. Remember, if the area code has a leading
0 then you must omit that when you enter the number – for example to call the
number 09 XXX XXXX in Auckland, New Zealand dial +649XXXXXXX or to call the
number 415 XXX XXXX in California, USA dial +1415XXXXXXX.

Using your Pivotel Iridium service outside Australia

If you are using your Pivotel Iridium service outside Australia and you are dialling
a number local to the country you are in, you must dial the number in
international format. For example if you are in New Zealand and you want to dial
the number 09 XXX XXXX in Auckland, New Zealand you must dial
+649XXXXXXX.

Storing Numbers

Pivotel also recommends that you store the contact numbers in your contacts in
the international dialling format, so that you don’t experience diculties when
you use your Iridium GO! outside Australia or use your SIM in another phone. For
example, to save a xed line number 07 XXXX XXX in Queensland you should
store the number in the format +617XXXXXXXX or to save a mobile number 04XX
XXX XXX you should store the number in the format +614XXXXXXXX. That way
you will be able to dial the number successfully wherever you are calling from.

SMS Text Messages

You can send SMS text messages from your satellite Iridium GO! to standard
mobile numbers in Australia and overseas. For international SMS you must add
the international prex, for example +642XXXXXXXX for a New Zealand mobile.

SMS Service Centre Number

The correct SMS service centre number must be stored in your Iridium GO! in
order to send SMS text messages successfully. This number is stored in your
Pivotel SIM and will normally transfer to the Iridium GO! automatically when the
SIM is installed. If you are unable to send SMS text messages please check the
SMS service centre number – select Settings >Message> Service center>
[phone] and select Save. If the correct number is not displayed you can
edit the number by tapping on the number, deleting the old number, entering
the correct number and selecting ‘OK’. If the correct number is displayed and you
are still unable to send SMS text messages please call Pivotel Customer Care on
1300 882 448.

GPS Essentials

Iridium GO! GPS features include sending Quick GPS and Tracking text messages
or emails to your chosen recipients. Each GPS and Tracking message and email
will be charged at SMS text messaging rate. Full instructions on the Quick GPS
and Tracking setting of Iridium GO! are available in the Iridium GO! User Manual.
