Detailed description

Extend the validity of your Iridium credit

The 30-day Iridium prepaid validity extension service is designed for Iridium satellite phone users who are approaching their SIM card's expiration date but still have a minute balance. Rather than purchasing a new full top-up, this option allows you to extend the lifespan 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 solely to extend validity can be expensive. This service specifically targets this need, offering an affordable solution to keep your line active and preserve your investment in communication credit. It is an essential fleet management tool for optimizing satellite communication budgets.

Simple and fast activation process

The activation of the 30-day extension is a service managed by our teams. Once your order is placed, we will contact you to verify the eligibility of your line and your Iridium SIM card (provided by Skysat) and to obtain the necessary information (SIM card identifier and, if applicable, MSISDN line number). The extension is then applied remotely to your account, with no action required on your part. Your credit and phone number are preserved, and your service is extended for a new 30-day period.

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 prepaid Iridium SIM card communication credit 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, preventing them from losing 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). We will verify the eligibility of your line and your Iridium SIM card (which must have been provided by Skysat). You will then need to provide us with your SIM card identifier and, if applicable, the line number (MSISDN). The extension will then be applied directly to your account. No manipulation is required on your satellite phone.

Does this extension add call minutes to my account?

No, this service does not add any minutes of communication, 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 Iridium prepaid SIM cards?

This extension is compatible with Iridium SIM cards operating on standard prepaid plans and provided by Skysat. Before any purchase, we invite you to contact us to verify the eligibility of your SIM card and your plan. If your SIM card was not provided by Skysat, it cannot be activated by our services.

What information do I need to provide for activation?

For us to apply the extension, we will need to verify the eligibility of your SIM card (which must have been provided by Skysat) and your plan. You will then be asked to provide us with your SIM card identifier (ICCID) and, if applicable, the line number (MSISDN). This information allows us to precisely identify your Iridium service.

Can I use this extension for a post-paid Iridium subscription (monthly plan)?

No, this service is exclusively reserved for prepaid Iridium offers. It is not compatible with monthly subscriptions (post-paid) which 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 details; 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 several extensions consecutively, subject to the eligibility of your line and your plan. Each purchased extension will add 30 days to the expiration date of your credit. For example, purchasing two extensions can extend the validity of your credit by a total of 60 days after eligibility verification by our services.

Can I activate this extension if my Iridium SIM card was purchased from another reseller?

No, in accordance with our commercial terms, we can only activate Iridium validity extensions on SIM cards that have been provided by Skysat. If your SIM card comes from another reseller, we will not be able to process your request. We invite you to contact us before any purchase if you have any doubt about the origin of your SIM card.
