Other Charges
You have three SBD delivery methods and can list 5 total delivery addresses.
Two additional options include:
The Iridium Gateway will send a 'Ring Alert' to the Transceiver when a Mobile Terminated SBD (MT-SBD) message has been queued at the Iridium SBD Gateway. Your mobile application can then decide whether to retrieve the MT-SBD data message at that time or later.
The SBD GEO data determined by the Iridium satellite network can be included with the message if your are not sending GPS data in the SBD message already. (accurate to about 15 miles)
