The aforementioned application fee together with the first maintenance fee will be deducted from the customer's Brastel account balance on the 9th day after the application is validated and a 050 number is obtained. Each subsequent maintenance fee will be deducted from the customer's Brastel account balance at the end of every billing period of 6 months.
If there is no sufficient balance in your account, your 050 number will be temporarily deactivated, and you will not be able to make or receive incoming calls.

If your 050 number remains deactivated for six months, your contract will expire permanently. Once your contract expires, you will need to apply for a new Brastel account to get a new 050 number.
