Beginning September 1, 2012 Inmarsat will be offering global prepaid satellite service for both voice and data on Inmarsat terminals. This will apply to all new and existing Inmarsat prepaid SIM Cards for the IsatPhone Pro, BGAN, FleetBroadband and FleetPhone units. The Inmarsat prepaid service was originally only available outside of the US, but it will now be fully global.
Benefits for IsatPhone Pro users

Inmarsat offers a variety of prepaid vouchers for the IsatPhone Pro to fit any requirement Small and large vouchers are available, giving you airtime with an average cost of $1.10 per minute and $0.55 per SMS. A list of available vouchers for sale can be found here. One key benefit of Inmarsat prepaid is any unused minutes will roll over if the SIM is loaded with another voucher before the expiration date. If you allow your prepaid minutes to expire, the prepaid SIM will remain active, you can recharge it when you like and you keep the same sat phone number.
