Detailed description

The standard Iridium prepaid subscription offers 200 minutes of voice communication for a period of 6 months. Designed for users of Iridium satellite phones and terminals, this plan represents a flexible and commitment-free solution, ideal for complete control of your communication budget at sea or in areas not covered by terrestrial networks.

A controlled communication solution

Unlike monthly (postpaid) subscriptions, prepaid plans allow you to purchase call credit in advance. Once the 200 minutes are used up or the 6-month period ends, the service stops without incurring any additional charges, protecting you from unexpected billing. This plan offers an excellent compromise between smaller 75-minute vouchers, often reserved for emergency use, and larger annual packages designed for professionals or frequent travelers. It is perfectly suited to seasonal sailors, adventurers, or as a reliable backup solution during long voyages.

Iridium global network coverage

By choosing this plan, you benefit from the robust global coverage of the Iridium network. Comprising a constellation of 66 low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, the Iridium network guarantees a reliable connection from pole to pole, including in the most remote regions of the globe. This service is an activation or credit top-up for your Iridium SIM card, compatible with all phones and devices on the network.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What happens if I use my 200 minutes before the end of the 6 months?

If you consume all 200 minutes before the end of the 6-month validity period, your communication service will stop. As it is a prepaid plan, there is no risk of exceeding your allowance or unexpected charges. To continue using your satellite phone, you will need to purchase a new top-up.

How is the activation of this subscription on my SIM card done?

This is an activation or top-up service for an existing Iridium SIM card. Once your purchase is validated, you will need to provide us with your Iridium SIM card number (starting with 8988). The activation of the 200 minutes credit will then be carried out remotely on your card. You will not receive a physical product. We will contact you after your purchase for activation.

What happens to my remaining minutes if the 6-month period is over?

If the 6-month validity period expires, your unused minute credit will be lost. To avoid this, you can purchase a new top-up before the expiration date. In this case, the remaining minute balance is usually carried over and added to your new credit, and the validity period is extended.

Can I use the 200 minutes for calls and for internet?

The 200 minutes in this plan are primarily intended for voice calls. They can also be used for low-speed data connections (dial-up type at 2.4 kbps), where each minute of connection is counted as a minute of communication. This is sufficient for light needs such as checking GRIB weather files or sending emails without attachments.

How can I check my remaining minutes balance and the expiration date of my plan?

To check your minute balance and the validity date of your credit, you can make a free call directly from your Iridium satellite phone.

Dial 2888 and initiate the call. An automated voice message will tell you the number of minutes remaining on your account and the expiration date of your subscription.

Do I need to buy an Iridium SIM card separately to use this subscription?

Yes, this item is a subscription service (a credit top-up) and does not include the physical SIM card. You must already own an Iridium SIM card or acquire one separately to activate and use this 200-minute plan.

Can I top up my account with another plan before this one expires?

Yes, absolutely. If you purchase a new Iridium prepaid top-up before the expiration date of your current plan, the new credit will be added to your remaining balance.

Furthermore, the validity period of all your credit (remaining minutes + new minutes) will be extended and will correspond to the validity period of the new top-up you purchased.

What is the coverage area of this Iridium subscription?

This subscription benefits from the Iridium network coverage, which is 100% global. Thanks to its constellation of 66 low-orbit satellites, the service works all over the globe, including:

On the high seas and all oceans. In polar regions (Arctic and Antarctic). In deserts, mountains, and the most remote areas. As long as your device has a clear view of the sky, you will be able to communicate.
