Service Life
Initial starter credit on the USA-Gold SIM card is valid for about about 88 days from our shipment to you. Unused call time credit may roll over into the next 88 day period if you make arrangements for us to make a single reload within 88 days from your last reload. After you purchase 2 of our standard $100 reloads we will entend your expiration date by 1 year with each subsequent reload. Then as an ongoing Super Gold customer we will credit you with 13% more airtime for each $100 or $40 reload.
As a special limited time offer, if you order our $199 promotional reload, your starter USA-Gold SIM will be valid for 1 year of service with 1000+ minutes of airtime. Your first $199 promotional reload will accelerate your SIM to Super Gold status. Any future standard reload credits will also be credited with bonus minutes and the exteneded 1 year expiration date. This is our most economical and convient way to establish 1 year of GSM service and 1000+ minutes of usage. This rate is less than annual postpaid contracts, no surprise monthly bills for service and no credit checks.
