Iridium SBD Prepaid Plans – Reliable Satellite Data for Your Application
Our Iridium SBD (Short Burst Data) prepaid plans offer a simple and flexible way to keep your tracking or IoT devices connected — even in the most remote locations. Whether you’re monitoring a vessel, transmitting sensor data, or managing critical systems offshore, these prepaid plans are designed for reliable global communication without the need for long-term contracts.
Choose between 1, 3, 6, or 12-month durations to suit your specific operational needs. Each plan includes a fixed data allowance and runs from the date of activation. All tariffs are contract-free, with no activation fees, and can be extended for longer usage periods (except the 1-month plan).
Here’s what you can expect:
-
1-Month Plan – Ideal for short-term deployments or delivery voyages. Includes up to 20 KB of data.
-
3-Month Plan – A popular choice for seasonal use or temporary monitoring needs.
-
6-Month Plan – Offers a good balance of cost and flexibility for medium-term applications.
-
12-Month Plan – Best value per month for long-term or continuous data transmission needs.
All plans are prepaid, which gives you full cost control and easy budgeting. You can manage your airtime independently without hidden fees or unexpected charges.
These tariffs are optimized for devices using Iridium SBD services, such as marine trackers, AIS safety devices, and IoT monitoring systems. Additional data volume can be added if needed.
Stay connected anywhere in the world — with Iridium’s truly global satellite coverage.
