Global One Number

Global One Number®

SD’s pioneering Global One Number (GON) service has been available for aircraft since 1997. We now bring the same convenience to leisure vessels, enabling you to call the vessel directly on its own unique number, regardless of location. It’s simple to reach passengers wherever they, without needing to know which region the vessel is in. SD’s marineV service simplifies this even further by enabling passengers to configure their smartphones as extensions of the GON via the onboard satellite phone system.

marineV

SD’s marineV service enables fully-featured VoIP calling using your smartphone over the vessel’s internet connection. Your phone becomes an extension of the vessel phone system, allowing you to be reached directly through Global One Number® (GON) and your configured extension. Simply connect to the vessel Wi-Fi to make calls and send text messages using your contacts.
