How to recharge your prepaid SIM card after 30 days
(Recharge Credit Guide)

Upon activation, the credits you purchased are valid for a 30-day period. To ensure continued service, it’s crucial to renew these credits on a monthly basis. If the SIM card is not recharged within 90 days, all services will stop, but you will retain the ability to receive calls and texts for a further 10 days. Please note that if you fail to recharge your SIM card within this 10-day period, the SIM card will automatically expire.

Policy for Activation Cancellation

Please note that we’re unable to cancel your SIM card activation once it’s completed. The nature of this prepaid service means that if you decide not to continue with the plan, simply refrain from recharging your credits, and the line will terminate automatically.

“Be advised that the prepaid SIM card number is non-transferable to another service unless it has been in use for more than 92 days. Transferring prior to this period, especially after receiving a free upgrade this term, will incur a penalty of 30 USD.”
