Saving your Credit Card or Debit Card details in an encrypted and well protected environment will allow you, when needed, to make payments to IDM in a very simple, fast, yet highly secure method.


Card Data will be encrypted and stored only at the Payment Gateway (Bank Audi), in a highly secure environment compliant with worldwide norms and regulations. IDM will only store a secure and unique identifier: The “Token”, generated by the Payment Gateway. Only the cardholder can initiate a transaction, authorizing IDM to use this Token in order to process a payment due to IDM.


By saving the Credit Card or Debit Card information, you will no longer need to provide the full card data every time you make a purchase or a refill. You will only have to provide your card’s CVV number for every payment. The unique Token is the only card related information that IDM will pass to the Payment Gateway in order for a payment to be collected.


By providing your CVV number at the Payment Gateway’s page, you are authorizing IDM to charge that card with the due amounts related to a purchase or a refill through IDM’s website.


You can remove a saved card at any time through IDM’s website. Removing a saved card however, does not in any means revoke IDM’s right to unsettled amounts incurred in connection with services offered by or through IDM and does not entail any modification to these services.


IDM will process all payments in US Dollars. Where your payment through the saved Debit Card or Credit Card involves a currency conversion, by saving a Debit Card or a Credit Card you consent to and authorize the card issuer bank to convert the currency accordingly.


In connection with your use of IDM’s website, your Account, or IDM’s Services, or in the course of your interactions with IDM, a User or a third party, you will not:


  • Use your Account or the Services in a manner that IDM, Credit Card or Debit Card issuer or our bank acquirer and/or payment processors reasonably believe to be an abuse of the bank’s reversal process, credit card system or a violation of credit card association rules
  • Use the Service to test credit card behaviors
Purchased Idle Days:

Idle Days accumulated by activating one or more pause cards. These Idle Days allow an ADSL line to remain valid while the Internet subscription is not renewed. An ADSL line without remaining Idle Days, or without an active Internet subscription is considered as expired and will be canceled.


  • The IDM Idle Days policy applies to Prepaid ADSL accounts.
  • Purchased Idle Days accumulate from month to month when one or more pause cards are activated into the account.
  • A subscriber can fill in any number of Pause cards into an account. Unused Pause cards will be added to the Pause cards queue.
  • When the number of Purchased Idle Days reaches 5 for an account, the system will automatically activate one of the cards pending in the Pause cards queue and a number of Purchased Idle Days corresponding to the account’s subscription plan is added to the account’s already available Purchased Idle Days balance.
  • If the number of available Purchased Idle Days in an account is above 5, all Pause cards filled into that account will be added to the pending Pause cards queue. The balance of Purchased Idle Days will remain unchanged. If the number of available Purchased Idle Days in the account is less than or equal to 5, one Pause card will be activated and a number of Purchased Idle Days corresponding to the account’s subscription plan is added to the account’s already available Purchased Idle Days balance; the remaining Pause cards will be added to the pending Pause cards queue.
  • If a subscription expires by quota, and is renewed before the expiry of the subscription’s 30 days time period, remaining unused days will not be considered as Idle Days, and will not be added to the account’s Idle Days balance.
  • Only Purchased Idle Days acquired by activating a pause card will be added to an account and will accumulate.
  • If an account’s Internet subscription expires by Quota, the system will start deducting from the remaining Purchased Idle Days. When all Purchased Idle Days are consumed, i.e. when the number of remaining idle days reaches ZERO, IDM has the right to cancel the DSL account without any prior notice.
