Communication of 15.VIII.2023

Iridium Satellite LLC announces the following information about the Iridium numbering plan and dialling procedure:

A 13th digit has been added to the dialling procedures for numbers in range +8816-xxx-xxxxx to support expanded Iridium services and subscriber growth. Iridium’s MSISDNs are now either 12 digits or 13 digits long. These calls should therefore be considered valid.

Service providers are kindly requested to program their switches to enable access to these numbering ranges.

 

Iridium Satellite LLC has interconnection agreements with the following carriers listed below. At the present time, these are the only valid directly interconnected IXC carriers for terminating or originating traffic with the Iridium Network. Their local representative should be contacted for pricing and routing information:

Telstra International (AUS):                https://www.telstra.com.au/business-enterprise

Iridium Satellite LLC requests that access be ensured to the Iridium network using country codes +881 6 and +881 7, and has set up a recorded announcement in its switch that will enable customers to validate their routing.

To access this service, please dial:   +881 6 311 10006 and

                                                                        +881 7 311 10007
