Iridium Pilot is one of the most popular options for affordable satellite broadband Internet at sea. While the airtime options have always been competitive, Iridium just introduced a brand new promo that gets you double airtime minutes at no additional cost, and for no additional contract period.
Iridium Pilot Combo Plans
Iridium Pilot Combo Plans provide you with a monthly allotment of airtime that you can use for either data or voice calling. These are excellent plans for mid-level usage and for a limited time only, Combo Plan D and Combo Plan E provide double airtime minutes for all new Iridium Pilot activations.
Double airtime is good for both annual and seasonal contracts.
Combo Plan D
With this plan you get a monthly allotment of airtime that, if you were to use it exclusively for data, would give you a max of 110 MB per month. If you were to use your airtime exclusively for voice calling you would have a max of 1,060 minutes per month. This plan costs $483 per month (annual) and is also available as a seasonal plan.
Double Airtime Promo: Now on Combo Plan D you get a max of 220 MB per month or a max of 2,120 voice minutes per month.
Of course, the great thing about Combo Plans is that you can use your airtime for both voice and data calling. All your usage is deducted from the same airtime allowance per month.
Combo Plan E
With this plan you get a monthly allotment of airtime that, if you were to use it exclusively for data, would give you a max of 350 MB per month.
