Iridium Balance Check

IRIDIUM BALANCE CHECK 

Iridium offers two ways to check your prepaid balance:

Make A Call:

To verify the minutes remaining on your Prepaid card: Dial 2888 from your satellite phone (Free call)  OR Iridium now offers SMS Balance Check, providing the ability for customers using prepaid e-vouchers to send a balance inquiry via an SMS to 2888 in order to receive their current status for no charge.

Send An SMS:

SMS balance check, providing the ability for customers using prepaid e-vouchers to send a balance enquiry via an SMS to 2888 in order to receive their current status for no charge. 

To use this feature, follow these instructions:

1. Compose a blank SMS and send to 2888 (+2888 or 002888 will also work)

2. An SMS response will be sent back to the device from the Iridium system

3. The message will contain the number of remaining ISU-PSTN minutes in the account, the number of days until the account expires, and the date and time (GMT) of expiration in English.

The SMS prepaid balance calculation is based on ISU-PSTN minutes and will be accurate for the vast majority of subscribers, but not all. For subscribers who place a large amount of ISU-other satellite calls, the announced minutes will be higher than actual. For subscribers who place a large number of ISU-ISU calls, the SMS number will be lower than actual.

The capability works for customers using prepaid e-vouchers and 9575, Iridium GO, 9555 or 9505A satellite phones.
