These plans may include options for prepaid minutes, postpaid monthly subscriptions, or bundled packages. The cost can range from tens to hundreds of dollars per month, depending on the provider and the level of service required.

Rates can vary depending on the provider, call duration, and destination (local or international). It's important to review the pricing structure and any applicable fees for airtime usage.

It's essential to understand the roaming policies and associated costs before using the satellite phone in different countries.
