Detailed description

Extend the validity of your Iridium credit

The Iridium prepaid 30-day validity extension service is designed for Iridium satellite phone users who are nearing their SIM card's expiry date but still have minutes remaining. Rather than purchasing a new top-up, this option allows you to extend the life of your existing credit by an additional 30 days, ensuring you don't lose any unused minutes.

An economical solution for occasional use

This extension is the most cost-effective solution for sailors, hikers, or professionals who use their Iridium phone seasonally or occasionally. Purchasing a full top-up just to extend validity can be expensive. This service addresses this need precisely, offering an affordable way to keep your line active and preserve your communication credit investment. It's an essential fleet management tool for optimizing satellite communication budgets.

Simple and quick activation process

Activating the 30-day extension is a simple service handled by our team. Once you've placed your order, simply provide us with your Iridium SIM card number (MSISDN). The extension will then be applied remotely to your account, without any action required on your part. Your credit and phone number remain unchanged, and your service is extended for another 30 days.

Payment and security

Your payment information and data are processed securely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What exactly is the 30-day prepaid Iridium extension?

This is a service that extends the validity period of your existing communication credit on your prepaid Iridium SIM card by 30 days. This product is not a top-up and does not add minutes, SMS, or data. It is a solution designed for users who still have credit but whose expiration date is approaching, thus preventing them from losing their unused units.

How do I activate this extension on my SIM card?

Activation is a service performed remotely by our teams (we will contact you after purchase). You will then need to provide us with your Iridium SIM card number (also called MSISDN). The extension will then be applied directly to your account. No action is required on your satellite phone.

Does this extension add call minutes to my account?

No, this service does not add any communication minutes, SMS, or data volume. Its sole function is to extend the expiration date of your current credit balance by an additional 30 days.

Is this extension compatible with all prepaid Iridium SIM cards?

Yes, this extension is designed to be compatible with Iridium SIM cards operating on standard prepaid plans. It allows you to keep the credit you have already purchased, regardless of the initial top-up.

What information do I need to provide for activation?

For us to apply the extension, you need to provide us with a single piece of information:

Your Iridium SIM card number (MSISDN), which is a series of digits that uniquely identifies your line.

Can I use this extension for a postpaid Iridium subscription (monthly plan)?

No, this service is exclusively reserved for Iridium prepaid offers. It is not compatible with monthly (postpaid) subscriptions that operate on a different billing model.

Will my satellite phone number change after activation?

No, your Iridium phone number remains unchanged. The validity extension does not affect your line number or account characteristics in any way; it only extends its lifespan.

Can I purchase multiple extensions to extend the validity by 60 or 90 days?

Yes, it is possible to apply multiple extensions consecutively. Each extension purchased will add 30 days to the new expiration date. For example, purchasing two extensions will extend the validity of your credit by 60 days in total.
