  3. ACTIVATION AND ACCESS

    Before starting to use the Services, the Customer needs an internet connection (for example, a public WiFi at the airport of departure) to activate the SIM Card, to make a first top-up of the Account and to choose the desired plan. Therefore, it is recommended to do so before travel to other destinations so the Customer could enjoy the Services upon arrival.

    To access the Services, a Customer must have a SIM Card inserted in, or an eSIM installed on, a mobile device that meets the criteria set out in section B above.

    To activate a Service the Customer must follow the instructions listed on the Website or in the Company App.

    Account is identified by the email address supplied by the Customer during the SIM Card activation.

    In order to use the Services, there must be a sufficient balance on the Account to cover the cost of the Service.

    As the Customer uses the Services, the Account will be debited accordingly.

    The Customer will get a free of charge notice when his/her balance available on the Account has reached 80% (eighty percent) of the financial or volume limit ordered by the Customer. When the balance available on the Account drops to 0 (zero), the Customer will get another free of charge notice and the data session in progress will be terminated. However, the Customer will still be able to access the Website in order to increase the Account balance. The Customer may at all times and free of charge: opt out from receiving the said automatic notifications and at all times after that to opt in to get that notification service again.

    The Customer will get a free of charge notice when the limits of Permanent Roaming are exceeded. In this case the SIM Card will be blocked for use on the territory where the Permanent Roaming occurred until the period of 4 (four) consecutive months from the first day of such Permanent Roaming on that territory expires. However, the SIM Card will be unblocked immediately if used in another territory where the new Permanent Roaming term will apply. The Customer may at all times and free of charge: opt out from receiving the said automatic notifications and at all times after that to opt in to get that notification service again.
