EXPIRY ALERTS:
All prepaid SIM cards (with the exception of the 1 month, 75 minute card) will receive expiry alert notifications via email as a courtesy to warn you that you may be without service if additional airtime is not added.
Iridium prepaid minutes that have been carried over for more than three (3) years will be expired from prepaid account balances on a daily basis as they reach their Maximum Age Limit.
TWO STAGE SERVICE NUMBER
The most cost effective way to receive calls to your Iridium phone is by using the Iridium special 2-stage service number, 1-408-768-2500. The caller will be prompted to input your Iridium satellite phone number and the call will then be transfered to your phone. Please remember that these incoming calls are charged against your prepaid balance at a cost of approx. $1.75/Minute.
SERVICE NOTES:
1) Calls are debited in 20 second increments. When making Iridium-to-Iridium voice calls, calls are debited at half the rate of an Iridium-to-Land line call (Example: If a user were to exclusively make Iridium-to-Iridium calls, a 500-minute plan would actually produce 1000 minutes (2X the minutes) for the satellite user).
2) Unused minutes are forfeited upon expiration. Card is permanently deactivated 90 days after expiry if not recharged. Expiry dates are cumulative up to 2 years.
3) Outgoing SMS (i.e. text messaging) are debited in 20 second increments, for qualifying prepaid plans.
4) FREE Services: Voicemail, Call Forwarding, Call Barring and Incoming SMS. NO ACTIVATION FEES!
5) Remaining minutes are announced before each call made. To query minutes: Use toll free number 2888 from Iridium satellite phone.
6) Please note that calls made to another satellite network (InMarSat, Globalstar, Thuraya) are debited at a higher rate than a standard Iridium-to-Land line call.
