As an Iridium voice subscriber, your phone performs double-duty as a voice communication and messaging device. The Iridium Satellite phone can receive 160 alphanumeric characters, in a single message. Once you turn your phone on and register with the Iridium satellite network, you can receive short messages directly to your handset.

These messages can be sent in one of three ways:

• Via the internet using the Iridium Messaging service: Send now
• Via e-mail: e.g.: 881631010433@msg.iridium.com.
• Via GSM Cell phone, provided your GSM operator offers an SMS to e-mail service.
