Which is the best plan for you?
There are two pay monthly airtime options available for your Iridium GO! Wi-Fi Hotspot. Read our comparison of the Iridium GO! Standard plans and Iridium GO! Flex plans below, to determine the best option for you.
Activation Fee
The Iridium GO! Standard Plan offers a 3-month minimum term when you pay a $25 activation fee. This is required upon the first activation. The Iridium GO! Flex Plan has an optional activation fee of $50 for a 3-month minimum term plan.
*Please note if you choose to pay a $50 activation fee there is a 3-month minimum term. Minimum cost will be 3 months' access fee + $50 activation fee.
Minimum Term
Both Standard Iridium GO! and Iridium Flex Plans have 3 months minimum term, when customers pay the $50 activation fee for the Iridium GO! Flex plan.
Dedicated Local Number
Customers on the Standard Iridium GO! Plan can be provided with a US number as an Add-On Service, at an additional fee. Should you require a dedicated US or UK local number free of charge please view our Iridium Flex Plans (link below). Local numbers enable much lower calling charges, as calls to the handset will charge at the same rate as the network rate, rather than the satellite phone rate. Iridium Flex customers must select their preference to a US or UK phone number when completing the pay monthly contract.
Reactivation Fee
Once a SIM card has been deactivated on the Standard Iridium GO! plan customers will incur a $250 reactivation fee if they wish to reactivate at a later date. If your Iridium GO! Flex Plan SIM becomes deactivated and you wish to use it again there is no reactivation fee. In fact, if you choose to use it at a later stage you will keep the same phone number and not have to pay to $250 reactivation fee - however standard contract charges do apply.
Monthly Service Allowance
The Standard Iridium GO! plans vary in terms of inclusive voice, data and SMS minutes. The monthly allowance included in the Iridium GO! Flex Plan extends beyond calls, to all services.
