      Eric PhillipsAug 31, 2025
      If your battery won't charge, first check the charger to ensure it's properly connected and the contacts are clean and dry. Then, check the battery contacts themselves. If the battery is warm, let it cool before attempting to charge it. If it's an old battery, its performance may have declined, and it may need replacing. Finally, ensure you are using an Iridium-approved battery.

      Cassie ThomasAug 25, 2025
      There are several reasons why you might not be receiving calls. Ensure your phone is powered on. Check that the antenna is fully extended and correctly angled, and that you have a clear view of the sky. Verify the signal strength and ensure no obstructions are present. Also, check your Call Forwarding and Call Barring settings, as well as the Ringer setting to make sure it's not off. Finally, check if your fixed dialing list is enabled.

    What to do if my Iridium Telephone battery drains faster than normal?
    • J
      Jimmy OsborneAug 27, 2025
      Several factors can cause your battery to drain quickly. If you're in an area with variable coverage, your phone uses extra power. Ensure your antenna is fully extended and correctly angled with a clear view of the sky. If it's a new battery, it may need two to three charge/discharge cycles to reach normal performance. An old battery's performance declines over time, so consider replacing it. If the battery hasn't been completely discharged, allow it to fully discharge before charging overnight. Extreme temperatures can also reduce battery performance.
