The easiest and most flexible way to use your Thuraya satellite phone is with a pre-paid SIM card and pre-paid airtime units. No monthly contract is required and pre-paid airtime can be used in any of the 140 countries in Thuraya's coverage zone.
Validity 30 days from first call | 10 units initial credit | Varied pricing depending on call location See Thuraya NOVA Zones for more information >
Please note that Thuraya prepaid airtime is compatible with first-generation Thuraya/Hughes phones such as the SO2510, SG2520 & 71XX.
However, we are aware of issues with outbound and inbound calling relating to mobile operators which we are unable to offer support on or can issue refunds for purchased airtime.

The Thuraya NOVA Renewal Fee is now 39 Units, like the Thuraya Standard SIM Renewal Fee. This is automatically deducted from your balance on the renewal date every year.
If your SIM card does not have the required 39 units for the SIM renewal, then it will fall into a 12-month grace period whereby you will need to add enough credit to cover the renewal charge of 39 units. To avoid deactivation, airtime must be added. If the SIM card becomes deactivated, please note that if you wish to reactivate your SIM card there is a fee.
If the account is NOT refilled within the grace period, the entire unused balance will be reset to zero on your Thuraya SIM and the account will be permanently deactivated.
Please note that upon requesting activation of your prepaid airtime you are agreeing that we can start providing your network services before the end of the usual statutory cancellation period and that by doing so, you lose your right to cancel your purchase of the prepaid airtime or request a refund. As a result, please check that you have ordered the correct airtime for your handset or terminal. Please refer to our terms and conditions for full information. This does not affect your statutory rights.
