Contacting users

Contacting an Inmarsat terminal by phone, fax or telex, is as simple as dialling any international telephone number, providing you have the correct combination of codes.

You need to dial:

• International access code +
• Inmarsat ocean region code 870 +
• Inmarsat Mobile Number (IMN).

International access code

Use the normal international dialling code for the country you are in - e.g. 00 in the UK or 011 in the US.

Inmarsat country code

Inmarsat has its own country code - +870 - which automatically routes the caller to the Inmarsat customer regardless of which Inmarsat Ocean Region the terminal is located - i.e. anywhere in the world.

From 1 January 2009, the +870 Inmarsat country code must be used for dialling all Inmarsat numbers. The four Inmarsat ocean region codes - +871, +872, +873 and +874 - have been withdrawn and will no longer connect callers to Inmarsat user terminals.

In the unlikely event you experience any problems dialling the +870 country code, please contact the Inmarsat Customer Care Helpline on + 44 (0) 20 7728 1030.

Inmarsat Mobile Number (INM)

Inmarsat mobile numbers start with 3, 4, 5, 6, 60, 76, 77, 78.
