Iridium Prepaid Sim or Next G?

The simm card is just to authenticate it does not use the 3G network it uses satellite. The sat phone cannot access the 3G network

worked out at 4 3.37 per minute

I think you mean $3.37 per minute. $43.37 per minute sounds a bit dear.

doh !

this is an Iridium sim card

You probably have up to $10 worth of calls included in the monthly fee too aussiedingo - most plans do. Is there a minimum number to months with Pivotel? With TR Telecom the minimum is four months.

G'day motherhen, my sat phone sim cards have been ongoing for years uninterupted, I don't know about other carriers terms, but yes my sim cards come with $10 free calls which is passed on to the hirer - good value! Telstra & Pivotel share the same iridium satellites, but you only pay one way with Pivotel!
