Prepaid Plans

The NOVA plan offers discounted call rates from within certain countries (see details) but does still allow you make calls from outside those countries but at a more expensive rate. NOVA SIM Features
  • Valid for 12 months from the first call
  • Use prepaid scratch cards to top up
  • Top up online with a credit card here
  • 10 units of credit included with a new SIM
  Pre Paid SIM Renewal
  • Renewal fee of 39 units per 12 months after initial 12 months
  • Renewal fee automatically deducted from your prepaid balance
  If enough balance is not found in your account, a grace period of 90 days is granted. In this period your account will be automatically renewed if you refill your account with the required amount (please note that any credit that is on the card remains until the end of the grace period). You will not be able to make calls during this grace period, however you will be able to receive calls. The account is finally closed (deactivated) at the end of the grace period if no (or not enough) credit is applied.

We quote all our monthly airtime plans in US Dollars because this is the currency that Iridium, Inmarsat and Thuraya work in.
If you sign up for a monthly plan with a direct debit you will receive your invoice in GB Pounds Sterling converted from US Dollars using a competitive exchange rate at the time of billing.
Monthly plans have a minimum term, the first month's service charge is pro rata, the last month's is not and is payable in full.
