More mobile satellite service providers and distributors have developed promotional offers aimed at former Iridium L.L.C. subscribers now left without service after the company terminated service abruptly two weeks ago.
American Mobile Satellite Corp. launched its “Instant Rebate” promotion offering up to $400 off its SkyCell equipment and activation fees.
Meanwhile, DVH Industries Inc., an Inmarsat distributor, said it will give a $500 credit toward a new Tracphone 25 or Tracphone 50 satellite phone to anyone turning in a now-obsolete Iridium handset. The Tracphone handsets use the mini-M satellite service from Inmarsat.
