Great news for Iridium customers! The grace periods on all their pre-paid SIM cards have been extended with immediate effect from 90 days to 270 days. Previously once your pre-paid voucher expired you had 90 days to add another voucher. If you did not add another voucher within the 90 days the SIM would automatically be deactivated by Iridium.
