Pooled Minutes or Dynamic Group Sharing (DSG)

- DSG is for voice service only. SMS are not included, they stay as a single SIM allowance, and are charged as overage once the allowance has been consumed.
- All DSG are billed by calendar month
- Monthly Charge / Allowance for a Dynamic Shared Group = Monthly Allowance per SIM multiplied by Number of SIMs in the DSG.
- A 10% premium applies to the monthly subscription and overage charges.
- A DSG has to be approved by Iridium. Please allow 5 business days to complete the process.
- All SIMs in a DSG need to be on the same Plan.
- A DSG can be created once there are 5 active connections. If the number of SIMs drops below 5 at any time, the monthly charge will be for the equivalent of the minimum 5 SIMs. However, the Allowance will be based on the actual number of SIMs multiplied by the Monthly Allowance per SIM. Overage will apply once the allowance has been consumed.
- Addition and removal of a SIM in a DSG can only take place at the start of a billing perior (month).
- Services activated mid month will be billed as a standard plan and will be added to the DSG in line witht the bill run. No ETF or new minimum period will apply.
- There is no rollover of unused minutes.
- The minimum term of a DSG is 12 months, the Early Termination Fee is equal to the Monthly Subscription multiplied by 5 (Minimum number of SIMs in the DSG).
- Each SIM card has the standard ETF SIM card rules, as per the Minimum Term above. After the Minimum Term is completed they can be moved in/out of the DSG with no penalty.
- A DSG can be upgraded. NO ETF will apply for upgrading a DSG but a new Minimum Term starts.
- A DSG can be used for single organizations such as Fleet, a Government body or Corporation. Not to be used accross multiple end users or organisations.
US Local Number
The US Local Number option provides a US (+1) phone number that is linked directly to your satellite phone, allowing the PSTN caller to be charged at International Call rates rather than the high charges for calling the 8816 Iridium code direct. The caller pays for the standard international call to the +1 number, the Iridium account holder pays the satellite portion, charged at the rate above.
