If you have chosen the postpay billing option then we will deduct the activation fee, which is 10 USD (or local equivalent) from the promotional coupon amount.
If you have chosen the prepay billing option, then you will first need to need to make a minimum payment of 10 USD to your account. Once this payment has been received your account will be activated and the promotional coupon will be credited to your account. The activation fee will be deducted from the prepayment.
