Mobile numbers for SwiftBroadband
You find the voice numbers in the documentation in the aircraft cabin or
from your service provider. They may also figure on the quick guide. Make
sure you have the international dialling code for the country you want to
call from.
To make a call to a phone connected to the SBU (ground to air), dial:
+ <Mobile number>
• + is the prefix used in front of the country code for international calls.
The Prefix depends on from which country you make the call. It is 011 if
you call from the USA.
• Mobile number for handsets connected to the SBU: This is the
mobile number of the system you are calling. The first part of the
number is always 870, which is the “country code” for the BGAN system.
