GSPS regional vouchers come in two types:
- GSPS Latin America (abbreviated to GSPS LA)
- GSPS Sub-Saharan Africa (abbreviated to GSPS SSA)
In order to enable these voucher types in IBIS, they must be added to the Fees in the Tools menu, as per the screenshot below. If you need assistance in setting this up, please contact Digital Skies Support.
A GSPS sim card can be topped up with vouchers of three types: regular prepay, Latin America prepay and Sub-Saharan Africa prepay.
In the dropdown of vouchers, the voucher type will show in the selection list:
As regional vouchers are priced differently than regular vouchers, new VAS Fee types should be created for them, and a VAS price in the prepay price plan needs to be defined, see Inmarsat Prepay Price Plan.
NOTE: When top ups with regular and regional vouchers are processed, the prepay account ends up with multiple balances for the different purposes. When IBIS retrieves the current prepay balance from Inmarsat, there is only one amount reported; according to Inmarsat this is the combined balance, and the reported expiry date is the “latest” of the expiry dates associated with the balances.
