Unused minutes will "carry forward" if eligible provided the reload is completed prior to the expiry date.

simple isatphone prepaid refill process
Have had our iSatPhone for several years now. Did like the auto-renew feature which is no longer available, but the existing process is simple and our order was processed quickly and correctly. I emailed support once before ordering to clarify renewal options, and received a prompt response. Have been very satisfied with the service and call quality when backpacking in wilderness. For our "emergency" purposes, the 100 unit, 6-month expiry with rollover mins refill works well.

Fit my satellite phone usage!
The prepaid plans offered here for my isatphone pro fits my usage. On the vessel for 3 months, home for a month or 2, and back at sea. What could be better.

IsatPhone Prepaid Reloads
With the change in IsatPhone terms and conditions, the 6 monthly rolling top up system seemed the best idea for $100 + tax for 100 minutes. SatPhoneCity process your renewal every 6 months so you never lose service and your minutes are rolled over if you don't use them. Morover, Chris at SatPhoneCity provided excellent communication and service.
