Iridium Sat Phone Top-Ups Useful Information
- Iridium SIM cards start with zero balance and validity.
- A top-up's validity period can be extended at a later date by purchasing another prepaid voucher or 30-day extension before the original top-up expires.
- If the validity is not extended then your SIM card will expire and become unusable. Any minutes remaining will be lost and your SIM will enter a 270-day grace period in which you may reactivate the SIM by adding a new voucher. The original balance will be lost and will not be added to the new balance.
- When the grace period has ended the SIM card will automatically deactivate and you will need to purchase a new Iridium SIM card and pre-paid Iridium voucher.
- Reactivating a deactivated card incurs the Reactivation Only charge plus the cost of a new airtime voucher.
