The vast majority of customers use satellite phones for emergency use. Unfortunately, satellite networks require subscription fees to fund network operations. While your monthly or annual subscription fees pay for your ongoing connection to the network, we offer flexible minute plans with roll-over so your airtime will always be there when you need it. Alternatively, you can purchase a Basic Prepaid Card which does not have service plan fees. However, please note that these cards have expiration dates and a refill must be purchased prior to expiration to continue your service and roll-over your existing airtime. Roll-over limits apply with Basic Prepaid Cards but not with Annual or Monthly service plans.
