Shore-to-Ship communication
To contact an Inmarsat terminal by
phone, fax or telex, you need to dial:
the international dialing code + Inmarsat satellite
code + Inmarsat mobile number
International dialing
code
Use the usual international dialing code for the country you're
in, e.g. 00 from the UK. Listings for the international phone/fax
and telex dialing codes are available here.
Inmarsat satellite
code
You need to dial the Inmarsat satellite code for the region
in which the terminal you are contacting is located. Inmarsat
has its own satellite code - 870 - which automatically routes
the caller through to the Inmarsat terminal regardless of
which Inmarsat Ocean Region the terminal is in. This can be
only used for dialing Inmarsat numbers beginning with 3, 5,
6, 60 or 76.
There are also satellite code numbers for each of the four
Inmarsat Ocean Regions.

mobile number
