There is no activation fee for any Fleet Broadband plan, and the prices above reflect actual costs associated with the account. Fleet Broadband is a data-usage only service, which means you may leave your connection active 24 hours a day. You are charged only for the actual data you transfer, and not on the length of time you are online. Read this page for Optimization Tips on how to reduce the amount of data you transfer.
The Usage Only Plan has no term commitments, and may cancel (or suspend) at any time. The deposit amount is the amount the plan may use. For example, if a deposit of $500 was made, then 5.5 Hours of talk time at $1.50 a minute may be used.
The 126MB, 384MB and 1GB Monthly Annual Plans are fixed and you will not pay more than the monthly fee. All unused minutes or Megabytes not used during that month are not rolled over to the following month. (To avoid this loss, we recommend Quarterly or PrePaid annual plans below).
The 126MB, 384MB and 1GB Quarterly Plans pay for service every quarter (not monthly) but have the benefit of no rollover loss during the quarterly period (unlike the annual monthly plans).
**The 126MB, 384MB and 1GB Plans have "Implied Usage" which means any usage subtracts from the monthly fee. For Example, in the pricing chart above under High Usage, a person may use up to 1 Gigabyte before their plan is expended ($5,500 / 1041MB = $5.28 per Megabyte). Similarly, phone usage subtracts from the monthly usage at a "burn rate" of $0.91 per minute.

**PrePaid plans have implied usage, which means
any service used subtracts from the Prepaid Amount.
Monthly Credit Limits may be set on prepaid plans by the customer so that usage can be capped on a monthly basis.
PrePaid Plan Services are identical to all services offered with the monthly plans. The only difference is that there are no rollover losses.
These pooled plans give an organization the ability to share an allowance amongst a group of SIMs with any SIM using as much (or as little) of the allowance as required. SCAP plans eliminate the rollover loss of individual accounts by pooling them together, making it far more cost effective.
 A single subscription fee is shared across a group of SIM cards.
Control usage on individual sim cards. Including deactivation.
Each SIM Card may have dynamic or a Public IP address.
Advantages To Paying Quarterly or Annually
Unused monthly service does not rollover to the following month. Accounts can avoid rollover loss by paying quarterly or annually.
FleetBroadband has streaming services for those that require a predictable connection speed, such as for streaming video.
