The situation varies from Country to Country but currently calling an Iridium handset from a fixed line or cellular phone can be comparatively expensive or not always possible depending on the National Carrier involved and the country you are calling from. For example the calling party calling an Iridium handset from a British Telecom fixed line in the UK would be charged $5.07 US Dollars per minute (excluding tax). Please note this service is charged on a receiving party pays basis (just like GSM Roaming).
The same call via our AST router would cost $2.00* (excluding tax).
