This is a strange complicated offer but I purchased an Iridium 'phone recently which came with a Sim which still has about (not sure exactly) 170 minutes of prepaid airtime on it - problem is the airtime expires toward end of August so only a max of 7 weeks before it expires!

I don't have any need for airtime until May/June next year and it seemed wasteful to watch it expire if someone else could use it! So, does anyone want it? Now I know not every boat is equipped with Iridium so if there's a forumite with a reasonable number of postings to their name (for my perceived security!) who is planning a summer cruise slightly further than the normal 14 day x-channel hop, e.g. a 3 week South Brittany cruise or Biscay crossing or whatever, who would make good use of the kit, I might even be pursuaded to make a loan of the 'phone itself. You will need to undertake to return it in good condition or pay cost of repair/replacement - and they're expensive!

I'm not looking for any money although a reasonable contribution to some charity or other would be nice.

Cheers, Brian.
