+1 Access

+1 Access was developed to provide Iridium Postpaid subscribers with a US based “+” number in addition to their existing 8816 phone number. As the 8816 country code can be difficult to dial in certain parts of the world and can generate high call charges for the calling party, +1 Access enables simpler and less expensive calling for Iridium subscribers. +1 Access carries an additional low monthly fee and a price-per-minute for inbound calls that is slightly higher than that of Iridium’s existing two-stage dialing service.

+1 Access service can be added to any Iridium postpaid subscriber’s account at any time. Once added to the account, the subscriber will receive a +1-480-xxx-xxxx phone number in addition to an 8816-xxxxxxxx phone number. Subscribers can manage their call cost and caller access by choosing to distribute their 8816 phone number or their +1 phone number. Two-stage dialing is also still available to +1 Access subscribers.

The calling party is charged long distance rates from the origination point to the US. Both parties pay for the entire duration of the call. The called party (the Iridium subscriber) is charged the +1 (US) Access rate once the call is connected. The United States has one of the lowest-cost inbound calling rates, so this makes the +1 Access service very economical for the calling party.

+1 Access allows callers to dial Iridium subscribers directly through their own, unique US phone number. Two stage dialing requires the use of multiple numbers (two-stage access number and called party’s MSISDN) and navigation through English language voice prompts. +1 Access rates are set at a slight premium to two-stage dialing due to the higher associated costs associated with the service. +1 Access numbers are unique per subscriber. PIN protection is not necessary and not supported under the +1 Access service.

Note the following:

• In case the Iridium subscriber has forwarded all calls to voice mail, all parties are still assessed charges as described above
• Data is NOT available with the +1 Access service
• +1 Access service is NOT compatible with SMS and requires the use of the subscribers MSISDN
• +1 Access is NOT available for prepaid subscribers
