**The 126MB, 384MB and 1GB plans have implied usage, which means any service used subtracts from the monthly fee.

Service Plans Explained

There is no activation fee for any Fleet Broadband plan, and the prices above reflect actual costs associated with the account. Fleet Broadband is a data-usage only service, which means you may leave your connection active 24 hours a day. You are charged only for the actual data you transfer, and not on the length of time you are online. Read this page for Optimization Tips on how to reduce the amount of data you transfer.

The Usage Only Plan has no term commitments, and may cancel (or suspend) at any time. The deposit amount is the amount the plan may use. For example, if a deposit of $500 was made, then 5.5 Hours of talk time at $1.50 a minute may be used.

The 126MB, 384MB and 1GB Monthly Annual Plans are fixed and you will not pay more than the monthly fee. All unused minutes or Megabytes not used during that month are not rolled over to the following month. (To avoid this loss, we recommend Quarterly or PrePaid annual plans below).

The 126MB, 384MB and 1GB Quarterly Plans pay for service every quarter (not monthly) but have the benefit of no rollover loss during the quarterly period (unlike the annual monthly plans).

**The 126MB, 384MB and 1GB Plans have "Implied Usage" which means any usage subtracts from the monthly fee. For Example, in the pricing chart above under High Usage, a person may use up to 1 Gigabyte before their plan is expended ($5,500 / 1041MB = $5.28 per Megabyte). Similarly, phone usage subtracts from the monthly usage at a "burn rate" of $0.91 per minute.

**PrePaid plans have implied usage, which means any service used subtracts from the Prepaid Amount.

Monthly Credit Limits may be set on prepaid plans by the customer so that usage can be capped on a monthly basis.

PrePaid Plan Services are identical to all services offered with the monthly plans. The only difference is that there are no rollover losses.



SHARED CORPORATE ALLOWANCE PLANS (SCAP)
These pooled plans give an organization the ability to share an allowance amongst a group of SIMs with any SIM using as much (or as little) of the allowance as required. SCAP plans eliminate the rollover loss of individual accounts by pooling them together, making it far more cost effective.

SCAP Plans (global usage)
Choose The Number Of SIM Cards
A SCAP plan may have 10, 20, 50 or 100 SIM cards. You have complete control over which SIM cards are active or not. You may use any SIM card in any FleetBroadband terminal.
Choose A Service Plan
Monthly service plans for SCAP accounts are similar to the individual monthly accounts above, including much higher levels of usage with lower per MB or per Minute costs. Please call and speak with a Ground Control representative to discuss your requirements.

Optional Discounts
Pay Quarterly - Avoid monthly rollover losses for that Quarter.
Pay Annually - Avoid all rollover losses for the year. Use all purchased Megabytes and minutes at any time during the year for all SIMs on the SCAP account.

Complete SIM Control
SCAP accounts may place credit limits on how much any sim card may use. Plans also allow for easy usage tracking, and of course billing.





Video Streaming Service
For those that wish to have a CIR for streaming video. CIR is "Committed Information Rate" and simply means the data channel is not shared, and will deliver predictable speeds that are sometimes a requirement of video streaming. Streaming services are all charged on a per-minute basis and are available with the Sailor 250 and Sailor 500 terminals. Streaming can be activated or deactivated with a single click on the user interface.
