Expert Tip
Field-tested advice: For the best connection with the Iridium 9555, fully extend the antenna and point it straight up at the sky. Then, slowly turn in a circle until you get the strongest signal strength on the screen—usually three or more bars. This phone needs a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. Don't try to use it inside a building, a car, or under a dense tree canopy. It works by connecting to satellites moving overhead, and anything blocking that line of sight will kill your signal. It's a simple step, but it's the difference between making a call and not.
