Stratos ChatCard™
Making sure your crew and staff can stay in touch with family and friends at home is a tried and tested means of boosting morale and a vital tool in retaining critical personnel. Now there is an easy and cost effective way to achieve this, with Stratos ChatCard—an easy-to-use, prepaid calling card for satellite services.
Features:
- Can be used with Inmarsat-B, -M, mini-M and Fleet from Stratos
- Is available either as a physical or electronic card (e-ChatCard);
- Can be reloaded using the efficient Stratos ChatCard Online service
- Can be used to reload an AmosConnect™ Crew from Stratos account
- Can also now be used for prepaid Internet Access (ChatCard Data)
ChatCards are available in denominations of 250, 500 and 750 units which provide 25, 50 and 75 Family Time minutes respectively, or 1.8, 3.6 and 5.7 Mbytes of Internet Access on a FleetBroadband terminal, respectively. A card can be use for any mix of voice and Internet access or AmosConnect Crew. Crewmembers can purchase physical cards and discard them when the minutes have been used, or they can recharge the card with ChatCard Online or myChatCard, allowing them to keep the same ChatCard number.
Stratos eChatCard and ChatCard Online
With ChatCard Online, you can reload a ChatCard over and over again. This innovation requires much less organization and administration for ship managers, because cards stay in circulation much longer. It also eliminates shipping costs and potential delays in delivery. eChatCards can be ordered in any denomination up to 5000 units.
eChatCards can be delivered in an Excel spreadsheet or as a text or pdf file. All ChatCard Online features, such as reload, activate or bar, apply to both the physical ChatCards as well as eChatCards.
