Crews communicate with prepaid

SkyFile Mail is the optimum tool for personal communications thanks to its ideal crew features:

  • One card – many functions: with Universal Card™, crew members need only one card for voice and data
  • Flexible: enables users to create and configure their own prepaid account according to their needs and budget
  • Independent: MyMail prepaid accounts are not linked to a specific SkyFile Mail master account, and can be used on any vessel
  • No restriction in terms of volume or number of messages: Managers or crew can define and set their own limitations
  • Anticipated cost is displayed when writing an email and credit balance is updated during each prepaid connection
  • SkyFile Mail works ideally with SkyFile Crew, providing crew members with optimised on-board access to prepaid internet, social media and messaging platforms (for vessels using L-Band connectivity, e.g. Inmarsat FleetBroadband).
