Need to Call Home, Need to Buy or Use a Phone Card?

Step-by-step guide

Calling home from JOIDES Resolution

The external telephone system onboard the JR routes through our contracted satellite system, Rignet/VSAT

It has a Texas A&M campus number, 1-979-845-3725

Public phones are located

  1. Bridge Deck Planning area (by coffee machine)
  2. The Zoom station in the User Room (Computer Room Lower Tween Deck).
  3. Tween Deck outside SIEM/IODP movie rooms (under the stair)
  4. Main Deck hallway behind crew change room

To call out (dial 9), it is the same as if you are calling from TAMU campus.

       To the U.S.

  1. All 979 area code numbers and Toll-free area codes are free.
  2. All other area codes will require a phone card.  Dial 9 (instead of the 1 indicated on the card).  Dial the 877****** number on the card.  Follow the prompt to enter the PIN #. Dial your area code and number.

       Internationally

  1. Follow the instructions on the card for dialing from the USA, except, you must dial 9 (instead of the 1 indicated on the card), then dial the 877****** number on the card.  Follow the prompt to enter the PIN #. 
  2. Dial your country code, area code and number.  If your country has a code for mobile numbers, like 080, only dial the last two digits, 80 instead of 080.

 

To obtain a phone card, purchase a $10 or $20 card from the ALO (IODP Ship Store carries these).
