Stratos said that it will migrate all ChatCard Online customers to ChatCard Online 5.0. Stratos ChatCard is an affordable way for shipping companies to enable crew members to stay in touch with family and friends while at sea, via voice, email, SMS and now prepaid internet access via the recent introduction of ChatCard Data on emerging Inmarsat technologies, added Stratos.
According to Stratos Global, ChatCard can be used on all Inmarsat and Iridium terminals, including FleetBroadband. A single ChatCard can be used with multiple satellite phones. ChatCard Online 5.0 enables ship managers to: activate and deactivate cards; review status and usage of all cards; obtain card balances and reload any card any number of times; and transfer unused balances to another card.
