Pre Pay SIM Renewal

When the grace period is over the SIM goes into a reactivation period, no incoming or outgoing calls, service effectively suspended only 150 (thuraya top up number) allowed. A fee of 5 units is required and will be deducted from value of scratch cards to re-activate (un-suspend) the service.
