Iridium SIM Card

Yes, Iridium satellite communication requires an unobstructed view of the sky to maintain a connection. You will not be able to use the service indoors, under heavy tree cover, or in deep canyons.

You can retain your original phone number if you refill your account before the expiration date. If your account expires, you generally have a grace period of up to 270 days to recharge and reactivate your SIM before the number is permanently lost.

Voice calls are billed in 20-second increments, which helps you manage your minutes more precisely. Text messages are deducted on a per-message basis from your prepaid balance.

This SIM card is designed specifically for the Iridium satellite network and is compatible with major Iridium handsets. It will not work with satellite phones from other networks, such as Inmarsat or Globalstar.

The maximum expiry period for an Iridium prepaid SIM is three years from the date of activation. You can extend your current expiry date by purchasing an extension voucher before your existing time runs out.

No, Iridium prepaid plans do not charge activation, reload, or ongoing service fees. You only pay for the minutes and data you purchase upfront.
