Thuraya Prepaid Backup SIM-Card
The card is valid for 5 years and is topped up with a credit of 10 units for the first 30 days. The call charges are significantly higher than for the standard prepaid or Nova Plus SIM card, but the running costs per year are significantly lower. In addition, you don’t have to worry about the card every year so that you don’t fall into the penalty fee for non-use.
You have two options to activate your SIM card:
- Inform us prematurely about your desired activation date at www.sim-ticket.de or
- Inform us simply by email or by telephone about the desired activation date.
At the day of the activation we inform you then via email and communicate to you your telephone number.
Within this activation Data service is automatically enabled free of charge.
