No. All you pay is the advertised rate, airtime charges, shipping (waived on multi week rentals) and applicable taxes. We do not charge any activation fees. 

We recommend reserving your equipment as soon as you know your travel dates. Choose your start date at least 1-2 full business days prior to your departure excluding weekends and holidays to allow for any delivery delays. This will also allow us to 'overnight' a phone last minute if necessary (where available).

You must be outside, with a clear view of the sky. Buildings will interrupt the signal so make sure you are away from obstructions. Once you turn the phone on, it will start searching for service. Once connected the phone will register to the network and after that it is ready to place and receive calls.

Yes. As long as you have a clear view of the sky and your satellite phone registers, you will have service and place calls from anywhere in the world. 

We keep every phone active whether or not additional bundled minutes are purchased. If you use more minutes than you prepay, you will just be charged the regular rate for additional minutes. The phone never shuts off and we never interrupt service.

Iridium is not intending to discontinue the 9555. This handset will continue to serve specific market segments indefinitely.

Like with any GPS application, this all depends on the number of GPS satellites that the device can see at one time. The greater the number of satellites in view, the higher the accuracy will be. This is “real” GPS vs. Iridium location.
