It would not be an exaggeration to say that a satellite phone can sometimes be the difference between life and death. Still, any phone is useless unless you can be sure that it is working. Here is how you can test your iSatPhone Pro to make sure it is functioning, to help better protect your safety.

• Go outdoors in a clear area without obstructions
• Turn on the phone by pressing the red button firmly
• Hold the antenna upright
• Let the phone acquire a GPS fix and register it on the network
• Dial the Inmarsat free test number: +870-776-999-999 and press the green send button
