- 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:
- Thuraya NOVA plan has initial validity of one (1) year from first call.
- Annual Renewal Fee: $39.00
- If the account balance is below $39 at the renewal time, the account enters the 90-day grace period. Incoming calls are still possible.
- If the account is refilled within the grace period, the existing balance will be restored.
- If the account is NOT refilled within the grace period, the entire unused balance will be reset to zero and the account will be permanently deactivated.
- Dormancy Fee: Thuraya prepaid accounts that haven't been used for chargeable calls or text messages for 12 months will incur a $19 MONTHLY dormancy fee.
