  • Thuraya NOVA plan WILL work outside the discounted origination areas, however, the regular calling rate will apply to all calls.
  • If your location is not on the list, your better plan option will be Thuraya PREPAY Plan, which offers a flat calling rate throughout the Thuraya coverage.

Account Validity & Balance Rules:

  • The Thuraya NOVA Plan has the initial validity of one (1) year from the first call.
  • Annual Renewal Fee: $39
  • The initial prepaid balance of $10 will be valid only for the first 30 days after the first call made with your new Thuraya account.
  • If the account balance falls below $39 at the renewal time, the account will enter the 365-day grace period.
  • During the grace period inbound calls will still be possible, however, outbound calls will NOT be allowed.
  • Within the first 90 days of the grace period, any expired prepaid balance can be restored by recharging the account with airtime vouchers.
  • If the account is NOT recharged within the 365-day grace period, the account will be permanently deactivated.
  • To reactivate the same SIM-card, a reactivation fee equal to the price of a new plan will have to be paid.
  • All Thuraya prepaid accounts are subject to a $19 monthly Dormancy Fee that will be charged to any account that hasn't been used for chargeable activity for more than 12 months.
  • Review all Thuraya Prepaid Plans, Balance and Renewal Rules.
