New Iridium GO! SMS Option for Pre-Paid Users
As Iridium release a new prepaid tariff for heavy Iridium GO! SMS usage we take a look at the pros and cons of the offer and also give you some tips on sending and receiving SMS on Iridium.
The new option offer 9,000 units which on this specific tariff equates to 3,000 SMS messages with a 6 month validity to use them up. This offering is non-rechargeable which means if you add further vouchers to the SIM it will cause all existing units and expiration period to be lost. So if you have not used the messages up at the end of the 6 months they will be lost, they cannot be rolled over. While this option is marketed as an SMS tariff it can also be used for voice and data calls so could be added to a SIM as a standalone voucher. However, if you wish to use voice or data services the cost per minute is much higher than the standard 400 or 1,000 minute voucher therefore should only be used in emergencies only. In summary, this option works best for SMS users alongside one of the standard voice/data options currently offered or for those who purely wish to use SMS.
