Monthly accounts don't start until activation, that begins the billing cycle, I am not sure about when the annual plan begins after signing up. I do know that if an account is inactive for 60 days the account will be terminated. You might want to get an answer from customer service about about this by contacting them, this is a customer based forum and you certainly don't want us telling you something that is wrong. Here is a link on how to contact them. https://www.visible.com/help/contact-us
Also, if you requested a pSIM for the annual plan the card is only good for 30 days before it is canceled.
