Iridium Voice Calling Features & Services for the Push to Talk 9575-(Optional Service)

The Iridium Voice phone airtime service for the Iridium PTT handsets is optional. The North America Regional plan has no monthly fee when you activate PTT service and you will pay only for the minutes used. The activation of Global Voice plan airtime is $24.99/month and the Middle East Regional Plan is $64.99/month. For more details view the service agreement. You will receive a Free sim card so we recommend to activate this service and take advantage of this special offer.

The Iridium PTT phone is built on the backbone of the Iridium Extreme satellite phone, so it can take advantage of its tough military & environmentally tough IP65 resistant design as well as all of the other features that make the 9575 satphone the best satellite handsets used globally. Also all of the same Iridium satellite phone airtime service plans can be activated & used with the iridium 9575 PTT Push to Talk satphone. One of the interesting things of the 9575 PTT satphone is that it is either in PTT mode, or Voice calling mode. So this means the user of the iridium 9575 Push to Talk PTT satphone MUST switch to 'voice mode' to make & receive calls. This is all done through the easily controlled handset menu options.
