Prepaid AirtimeIridium Prepaid Airtime

Prepaid Airtime sim cards are available in the following increments:

• 500 mins - Expires after 1 year
• 1000 mins Expires after 2 years
• 3000 mins Expires after 2 years
• 5000 mins Expires after 2 years

The problem with prepaid airtime is that if your card runs out whilst in use then you will not be able to make a call to add more minutes. Also if you let your card expire there is a $250 charge to reset it. On the other side it is a good way to manage your expenses by limiting your exposure.

Iridium Postpaid Airtime

Postpaid service works just like a standard cell phone contract, you pay a set amount each month for a bundle of minutes, if you exceed your minutes the phone will keep working just at a slightly higher rate per minute. Plans include:

• $39.99 per month - includes 10 minutes
• $59.99 per minute - includes 40 minutes
• $99.99 per month - includes 90 minutes
