How to activate the Iridium GO! SIM card

Before you can connect your Iridium GO! to the Iridium satellite network to communicate, you will need to select your airtime plan, activate the Iridium GO! SIM card and insert it into the Iridium GO! device.

Go to the PredictWind Satellite Portal to activate your Iridium GO! SIM card.

You need the Iridium GO! IMEI number and the Iridium GO! SIM card number for this process.

  • The Iridium GO! IMEI number is printed on the sticker under the battery or on the side of the box that the Iridium GO! came in.

  • The Iridium GO! SIM card number is printed on the Iridium GO! SIM card.

As you work through the process online, you will be offered different airtime plans. We recommend the Iridium GO! Unlimited airtime plan. Once you select the appropriate plan and make payment, the Iridium GO! SIM card will become active within 15 minutes.

Move on to Step 3

You are now ready to proceed to Step 3: Set up the Iridium GO! App, make an outbound call, send an SMS, and update the Firmware.
