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 24 months from the first call
- First call must be made within 12 months of activation
- Use prepaid scratch cards to top up
- Top up online with a credit card here
- 20 units of credit included with a new SIM
Pre Paid SIM Renewal
- Renewal fee of 10 units per 24 months after initial 24 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.
