Iridium SIM plus possible loan of Iridium 'phone!
|
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.

Zef,
Have you activated it yet? I think the 30 day pre-paid cards stay valid until you activate and it's only then the 30 day countdown begins?
Cheers, Brian.

Brian,
If nobody else has a genuine need for it, I would like to borrow the SIM just for a weekend so I can prove my own Iridium 9505 actually works. It came with the boat, but I have never bought a SIM, plus the new battery it needs as I didnt want to waste money, if the handset is no good.
PM me if you around next weeekend.
