SIM card and prepaid airtime packages for your Iridium satellite phone.
Iridium SIM cards start with zero balance and validity. Choose the option appropriate for your needs and you can then extend at a later date if you need to - SIM card validity can be extended by purchasing another prepaid voucher or 30 day extension before the original expiry date.
If the validity is not extended then your SIM card will expire and become unusable. Any minutes remaining will be lost and your SIM will enter a 270 day grace period in which you may reactivate the SIM by adding a new voucher, however the original balance will be lost and will not be added to the new balance.
After this 270 day period has ended the SIM will automatically deactivate meaning that you will need to purchase a new Iridium airtime SIM Card and pre-paid voucher. Reactivating a deactivated card incurs the Reactivation Only charge below plus the cost of a new airtime voucher.
Minimum billable increment = 20 seconds, 20 second increments thereafter.

Upon requesting activation of your prepaid airtime you are agreeing that we can start providing your network services before the end of the usual statutory cancellation period and that by doing so, you lose your right to cancel your purchase of the prepaid airtime or request a refund. As a result, please check that you have ordered the correct airtime for your handset or terminal. Please refer to our terms and conditions for full information. This does not affect your statutory rights.
