881 area code summary
Area code 881 is another specialized non-geographic code reserved for international telecommunications, specifically as part of the Global Mobile Satellite System (GMSS). It is used for satellite phones and services provided by companies like Iridium, Globalstar, and Inmarsat. These numbers are critical in remote areas without terrestrial phone infrastructure — such as in oceans, deserts, or polar regions. 881 numbers are extremely expensive to call and are not used by the general public. They're common among maritime vessels, humanitarian aid organizations, military operations, and remote scientific expeditions. If you see or dial an 881 number, you're likely reaching someone or something beyond the grid of traditional mobile or landline coverage.
Fun fact 💡
881 was added for international toll-free in 2013.
