I am seeking advice and counsel on a good and reliable Iridium
service provider with competitive pricing for prepaid service.
Until last summer I used Stratos, with a monthly service charge of
about $35.00 and $1.50/minute air time but cancelled that when I
sold my Grand Banks. I see several websites now offering prepaid
service, including www.satphonestore.com. One which looks promising
is 3000 minutes good for two years for $2970 or $.99/minute.
However, they tell me the service provider is France Telcom which
may present some language issues.
Is anyone using a good prepaid Iridium service that offers
competitive pricing and good customer service with a US or Canadian
provider? Stratos customer service was very good, but a call to
them today reveals their prepaid price for 3000 minutes is $3600,
and the time is good for only one year--not very competitive.
If you have good prepaid service and you're happy with it, please
let me know who you are using, what it costs, and how to contact
them. Please reply here or direct to me at:

The commissioning process for Nordhavn 47-32 is moving along in the right
direction, and we are expecting to take delivery and depart Stuart, FL
by the end of August. I'd like to have the Iridium service in place
before departure.
Many thanks,
