> Also data is not charged in minutes, it's theoretically unlimited.

If you buy the 'medium plan' for $119/month [1] you get 150 Minutes of 'Data, Standard Voice or combination of both' and can buy additional data for US$0.42/min. And the 'light plan' [2] at $57/month includes just 5 minutes.

Data seems to a "call via the Iridium GO! Access number" like old school dial-up.

It's only if you buy the 'heavy plan' for $149 [3] that you get the 'Unlimited Data'

Or am I misunderstanding things?

If we're comparing price to a $5,000/month offering, I think it's totally reasonable to compare it to the $149/month package of Iridium.


Maybe, though there are 43830 minutes in a month and that package offers 150-mins. Guessing there better bulk min plans, but at the 0.42 a min over the 150-mins, that’s $18345.60 + the monthly fee.


That plan offers unlimited data minutes, not 150.
