Overview
What is Iridium GO! prepaid airtime?
Iridium GO! prepaid airtime is pay-in-advance satellite service for the Iridium GO!, the portable satellite hotspot that connects your smartphone or tablet to the Iridium network over Wi-Fi. You buy a block of GO! minutes, valid for 6 or 12 months, and use it for voice calls, data (email, weather files, tracking) and SMS from anywhere in the world.
There is no contract and no monthly bill: prepaid is the simplest choice for sailors, expeditions, seasonal workers and emergency kits that only need satellite service part of the year.
In short: Global Satellite offers three Iridium GO! prepaid plans: Seasonal 400 at $604.00 (6 months), Annual 1000 at $980.00 (12 months) and Text & Call at $448.00 (6 months). Activation for a new line is +$60.

What happens when my prepaid plan expires?
Your Iridium GO! can be put back into service with a Reactivation & recharge order: the fee is $30 if you reactivate within 9 months, and $300 after 9 months. To avoid reactivation fees, recharge before your plan expires.
Which Iridium GO! prepaid plan should I choose?
Choose Seasonal 400 for a trip, a sailing season or a project of up to six months. Choose Annual 1000 if you use your Iridium GO! all year or need more data for weather files and email. Choose Text & Call if you mainly send messages and only make the occasional call.
