The network
Why Iridium GO! for a satellite hotspot
Iridium GO! turns the phone already in your pocket into a satellite connected device, so a whole group can share one satellite link instead of buying separate handsets. It runs on the same worldwide Iridium network as the satellite phones, so coverage does not stop at the coastline or the edge of cell range.
- Creates a Wi-Fi hotspot that several phones can join at once
- Runs a companion app for weather, position tracking and SOS
- Works with the phone a person already carries, no extra handset to learn
- Covers open ocean and remote inland areas the same as Iridium voice
The fine print, plainly
Good to know before you activate
- A one-time activation fee applies to every new line; it is shown on the plan page.
- The monthly plans run on a 12-month term.
- Prepaid blocks have no contract and expire at the end of their stated validity.
- Incoming calls are free when dialled directly; incoming text messages are also free.
- Monthly plan minutes are billed in one-minute increments; prepaid blocks are decremented in 20-second increments.
- If service is cancelled the SIM is permanently disabled and any unused allowance is forfeited.
- Only apps built for the hotspot work with it; general web browsing is not supported at this data speed.
- The plan tier can be changed during the month a limited number of times, and the change is billed on that month's invoice.
Hardware
Hotspots these plans activate on
The plans on this page are for the original Iridium GO! hotspot, which creates the Wi-Fi bubble that routes calls, texts and light data from your own phone through the Iridium network; the marine antenna kit is for a fixed boat installation. The Iridium GO! exec runs on its own data plans, so call us for exec airtime rather than buying from this page.
