If you do have to pay the monthly fee can you disconnect it for a few months
without having to pay the $50 activation fee?

Here's an excerpt from a note that appeared recently on the Trawlers
and Trawlering EMAIL list:

A good source for both Iridium minutes and Iridium equipment is Andy
Cool at Explorer Satellite in Fort Lauderdale. I've used Andy since I
began using Iridium, and in my experience he's a straight-shooter and
knows the satellite communications business from a user standpoint as
well as anyone I've ever spoken with. He does what he says when he
says at the price he says, and his Iridium rates are the lowest I've
found--plus there are no extra charges for taxes, startup, SIM card,
or anything else. If you care to, you can contact him:
