BGAN Prepaid in the United States
Due to registered patents by an American wireless Prepay company, BGAN Prepaid is currently not available in the USA until further notice. Accordingly, subscribers of the Prepaid Service are not permitted to (a) make Mobile Originating calls from the USA and its territories, incl. its air space and waters (the “US”); or (b) top-up their Prepaid account within the USA. Where a subscriber tops-up his Prepaid account by telephone, the VRS function will interrogate the subscriber as to his location and terminate the call if the subscriber is in the USA.
Validity & Expiration of Minutes
Units must be used within the validity period (which starts once balances have been topped up using the Prepaid voucher) or they will expire. When users top up, the validity of the voucher units is added to any remaining validity on the SIM card at the moment of top-up with a maximum period of 24 months. Customers have 20 years to place the balance of the voucher on Prepaid SIM cards before it expires.
Voucher Units
Vouchers must be used in combination with a BGAN SIM card that is activated under the Prepaid package. Customers have 20 years to place the balance of the voucher on Prepaid SIM cards before it expires. Vouchers & units are applicable to both SPS and BGAN
Voicemail
Voicemail check is calculated as outgoing call.
