Low-cost Voice calling
All pre- and post-paid voice calls to a fixed line, using FleetBroadband, made at any time of the day or week, can now be as low as 55¢ per minute* (SRP). This new lowest-ever voice pricing from Inmarsat means that crew can now call family and friends more often and Masters and Superintendents can make operational calls from the bridge for less , keeping the ship cost-efficient and competitive. This is why FleetBroadband is the clear choice for all your voice communications requirements.
FleetBroadband safety service
At Inmarsat we're committed to safety and have been making life safer for seafarers for over 30 years. Previously, safety facilities were available via Inmarsat B, C, M, and Fleet 77 terminals, but not on FleetBroadband. For this reason, Inmarsat has introduced a new priority voice distress service for FleetBroadband, in addition to the existing free 505 Emergency Calling facility.
