Follow the steps below on how to send a text message from the IsatPhone Pro & IsatPhone 2.

Step 1: Register to the network

1. Rotate and extend the antenna so it is pointing at the sky
2. Face towards the general direction of the equator and the phone will begin to register

Note: The Inmarsat satellites are geostationary and they do not change location. The satellites are positioned across the equator therefore you will need to ensure you are facing the satellite from your region. If you do not face the right direction you will not register to the network. The signal indicator will show bars, if it does not, turn 90 degrees to the right and continue doing so until you have achieved signal gain.
