Get a LOCAL Number and Start Saving up to 90% on calls made to your satellite phones!

If you have not had a local phone number assigned to your Satellite Phone you are missing out on DRASTIC SAVINGS.

Whether you use an Iridium, Inmarsat, Thuraya, Globalstar Satellite phone/device, you can choose a Local Phone Number from FIFTY Countries across the globe and have it assigned to your Satellite phone thus significantly reducing your airtime costs for calls going to your device. The call will be treated as a LOCAL call for those calling to your satellite phone.


What’s the Value of Assigning a Local # to your Satellite Phone?

Cost Savings & Ease of Use to start with!

Calling a local number eliminates the hefty international fees and it is much easier and familiar to dial a local number than dialing the extensive numbers and codes typically assigned to Satellite phones. No matter the carrier, no matter the location of the Satellite phone, and no matter the service provider - dialing to that satellite phone/device will connect as if it is a local call. A family member, friend, or associate can maintain more communication without the stress of expenses. Instead of holding the entire conversation from an outbound call from the satellite phone user, the satellite phone user can initiate the communication and have the receiver call him/her back via the local phone number assigned. For large organizations with a high call volume to their associates located or residing in remote areas the Cost Savings can be substantial.

How else can SatCollect save me money?

SatCollect is a service that not only simplifies the calling process and reduces costs made to the satellite phone/device, it also serves as an account management portal with advantageous billing features, and advanced management functionality that addresses internal accounting for larger organizations. PIN numbers can be assigned to identify individual callers, business units, divisions, departments creating a valuable control of call volumes and billing allocation. The PIN system is key for circumstances where multiple dialers and recipients share satellite phones.


Who is SatCollect for?

Virtually anybody responsible for paying the airtime bills and/or managing the usage of satellite phones and or devices regardless of carrier – regardless of industry, from the single adventurer to a global organization! Government applications for SatCollect include military, remote outreach, maritime, and International related projects. SatCollect will reduce your satellite costs even if there is only one satellite phone. SatCollect is also extremely attractive to those responsible for Cost Reduction Strategies where there are a number of Satellite lines from various departments to manage. The ability to allocate airtime costs and fees internally through the use of PIN codes can establish clear accountability and help manage airtime usage and help keep the usage in check.

There are many more features available to assist with driving costs down and enhancing billing management - but most importantly - if you do not have a local phone number assigned to your satellite phone or satellite phones, you have FREE MONEY to SAVE by signing up.
