Data Tethering
Connect the Iridium 9555 to your laptop via USB cable to enable email and low speed data using the only truly global communications network.

Not all mobile networks allow you to send text messages to satellite phones and as a result text messaging can be unreliable. Please check with your provider or contact us for further information.
