I can ring and freeze account at any time , then activate again when needed , so if I wasn't going anywhere for 6 months plus I would cancel service which then costs nothing till I reconnect .
When connecting it cost about $35 to connect initially and then $15 per month plus calls or texts or data , we will probably only use it for emergencys and for people to contact us so it will only be $15 per month remembering 000 costs nothing to call .
The sim that came with the phone although not activated still allows me to ring 000 , other feature I liked is the gps function .
Lots of forums lots of conflicting advice on which one to buy , some don't work up north some are patchy down south etc etc , was able in the end to select Thuraya because it suits what we will use it for and most importantly the price .
