BGAN Prepaid SIMs

Important information about BGAN Explorer 300, 500 and 700 terminals 

Update from 2023
We have recently been informed of an issue related to the GPS module of these legacy terminals. Due to the obsolescence of this module, the BGAN Explorer 300, 500 and 700 terminals are no longer able to connect to the Inmarsat network. The Explorer 500 and 700 products were discontinued in 2014/2015 with last service date in 2018/2019.  Currently, only terminals manufactured between 2004 and 2007 are affected. However, all other BGAN Explorer 300, 500 and 700 terminals will also be impacted in the coming years and will cease to function.

Please note: 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.

• Inmarsat Prepaid expirations occur at 00:00 UTC for the expiration date in question. To ensure existing airtime is not lost, recharge should be processed at least 24 hours prior to expiration.
• Unused units will roll over if SIM is recharged prior to the expiration date.
• SIM Validity will be based upon current expiration date or above voucher validity from date of recharge, whichever is later. The addition of multiple vouchers of the same type on the same date will not extend the validity further than the addition of one voucher. For clarity, adding multiple 3000 unit vouchers on the same day will not extend the validity more than 90 days from the date of redemption.
• Prepaid Vouchers can be removed within 72 hours of initial load free of charge. After 72 hours, the Voucher Removal Fee applies.
• Vouchers cannot be removed from expired SIMs or more than 60-days from original date of topup.
• Only the most recently added voucher can be removed. Vouchers cannot be removed if any units have been used.
