Description
Monthly Allowance
40 Minutes or Text Messages
The plan includes a shared monthly allowance of 40 units for outgoing voice calls, satellite data sessions, and text messaging. Each outgoing text message uses one unit, while voice and data usage are measured in minutes. All three services draw from the same allowance.
Unlike broadband satellite plans that measure data in MB or GB, Iridium GO! data is measured by connection time. Each data minute represents one minute connected to the Iridium GO! satellite data service.
Incoming Calls and Text Messages
Incoming text messages and calls dialed directly to your Iridium GO! satellite number are free and do not deduct from your monthly allowance. However, the person calling your satellite number may incur international calling charges. Calls received through two-stage dialing or an optional USA number are deducted from your plan's allowance.
Overage Rates
$1.59 / Each Additional Voice or Data Minute
$0.99 / Each Additional Text Message
After the shared monthly allowance is used, additional voice or data minutes are billed at $1.59 each, and additional outgoing text messages are billed at $0.99 each.
Optional Add-ons
USA Number: $15 /mo.
Rollover Minutes: $10 /mo.
Rollover Minutes and USA Number are optional add-ons billed separately from your service plan. The rollover add-on allows eligible unused minutes to carry forward for the life of the contract. The USA Number add-on assigns a U.S.-based phone number that routes calls to your Iridium GO! service.
Coverage
Iridium provides global satellite coverage using a constellation of low-Earth-orbit satellites. This enables connectivity across land, sea, and air, including polar regions, making Iridium one of the most comprehensive satellite networks available. A clear view of the sky is required for reliable satellite communication, and service may be affected by terrain, buildings, vessel structures, or other signal obstructions.
Contract and Service Terms
This plan requires a 12-month contract and comes with a $50 activation fee. Early termination fees may apply if service is canceled before completion of the contract. Voice and data usage are billed in one-minute increments after the included allowance is used.
Voice, Messaging and Data
Iridium GO! provides satellite voice calling, text messaging, and low-speed data connectivity through supported applications. Data service is designed for optimized services such as email and weather information rather than general web browsing or other high-bandwidth internet use.
International Calling
Calls to other satellite networks, including Inmarsat, Thuraya, and Globalstar, are billed at $12.00 per minute. Direct dialing to local numbers in certain countries may incur additional charges. Calls received through two-stage dialing or a USA number use the plan's monthly allowance, as described above.
Privacy and Security
Built on the Iridium satellite network, this service supports dependable voice, messaging, and data communication across remote locations. Iridium's satellite infrastructure helps maintain connectivity when terrestrial networks are unavailable.
