Iridium Plus 1 Access Service
+1 Access service provides Iridium postpaid subscribers with a U.S. +1 phone number in addition to their existing 8816 phone number. +1 Access can be added to any Iridium postpaid account.
+1 Access service is similar in concept to two-stage but doesn't require any user intervention. Each +1 number is directly mapped in the switch to an accompanying 8816 number. When a call is received via +1, the system identifies the correct MSISDN and routes the call to the Iridium user. The process is seamless, but there will be a slight delay prior to call connection - as is currently experienced with two-stage.
+1 Access enables simpler and less expensive voice calling of Iridium subscribers. The service carries a 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. Pricing for outbound calls remains unchanged.
Iridium subscribers will gain from the added convenience of having a U.S. phone number linked to their Iridium phone.
