How to extend the active period of Indosat / IM3 so that it doesn’t get burned and blocked. Try the trick to increase the card’s active period below.

If the active period on your Indosat number has expired, then your card will be scheduled to be blocked by the provider.

The blocking has negative impacts such as you can no longer send or receive SMS / calls, cannot surf the internet and so on.

However, there are some cases where mobile phone users have a lot of credit but rarely use the card for SMS/calling, so the credit lasts because it is not used. Even so, the pulses that are used or not used have no effect on the active period.

However, there are cases where users have a lot of pulses but the active period on their card is about to expire.

It’s impossible for them to accumulate credit by filling up pulses continuously just to extend the active period, it’s better to buy the active period with the credit they have (as described above).

Or if the number is not your main cellphone number, before it runs out, you can share your credit to another number or it can also be used to buy internet quota.

So, that’s a tutorial on how to easily extend Indosat’s active period. So in this article, there are 2 ways that you can use, namely by buying an active period or topping up your credit, choose according to your needs.

Just for info, SMS replies from 555 sometimes long enough, in the tutorial above, I waited for about 1 hour. I don’t know why, maybe it was trouble or what, I don’t know.

So I suggest, before you receive an SMS reply from 555, do not use your credit for SMS, telephone or internet. I’m afraid your request to extend the active period will fail due to insufficient credit.
