Ringing an IsatPhone

And here's a tip that's been posted before and it won't hurt to post again. From outfittersatellite.com:

Sending an Emergency Alert Message from the IsatPhone PRO Satellite Phone:

The IsatPhone PRO satellite phone has a powerful Personal Alert feature that can be sent to as many as 10 text or email recipients by simply pressing * and # simultaneously for 2 seconds from the main screen.

Before you are ready to send a personal alert a little setup is required. The alert message has the following elements:

Last GPS fix and time
Time that the personal alert was sent
Email address of recipient, if an email address was used
A short explanatory message

Use the Left Selection Key to access the Menu. Use the Center Selection and Navigation Keys to select the Extras icon. Highlight Personal Alert and press the Center Selection Key. Highlight Configure personal alert and press the Center Selection Key. You will now need to edit your recipient list and edit your personal message.

Make sure the personal message explains to your friends why they are receiving it. We recommend that you send at least one TEST personal alert broadcast so that your friends understand what they are receiving and what will be expected from them if a real emergency occurs in the future.

I sent a SMS to my Isatphone that does not currently have credit ,message received OK

Then tried calling and no result.

Any clues?

I set my Isatphone up about 4 weeks ago, got sim etc. not leaving till late May. Sent and received several txt mugs to/ from, but no phone call access. Yesterday paid for call access of $85 for 3 months and now receive and transmit calls works.
