FAQ
Can I call 911 in Canada from my Inmarsat phone or are there other numbers for emergencies?
You can not call 911 directly on the Inmarsat phone. The unit does have an 'Emergency SOS' button that is pre-programmable. You can set it up to call someone, send an alert via text or email message and the prime usage is to register yourself with GEOS, a global rescue service and they will get the message and immediately alert authorities. The 911 Service is provided by a private company who will then alert authorities in your area. This is the US and Canada only.
This servie applies to Iridium handsets 9505, 9505A, 9575, 9575N, 9555 & 9555N as well.
