Thuraya Satellite Phones, Plans & Airtime
A THURAYA satellite phone can be your best communication option if you travel or work in the Middle East, Africa, Central, South and Southeast Asia and Australia. We offer the full range of Thuraya equipment, subscriptions, airtime and customer support.
Large Coverage Area. The Thuraya satellite network covers nearly one third of our planet and 2.3 billion people in Africa, the Middle East, Central, South and Southeast Asia, Australia. IMPORTANT! Thuraya service is NOT available in North & South America. Consider Iridium satellite phones instead.
Not Just Voice. With Thuraya you don't have to talk all the time because it also supports data services (think email, Web browsing, ftp, etc.), fax and text messaging (SMS). Always-on Internet service (GmPRS) is now available on Thuraya XT, SG-2520 and SO-2510 satellite phones!
Affordable. Satellite calls don't have to be expensive anymore. Incoming satellite calls are always FREE and outgoing calls start from just 99 cents per minute! Always-on Internet access: $5.00/MB. Rate Plans...
Easy To Use. The Thuraya handset is very much like your cell phone, except it can reach over the skies! A phonebook, various ringtones, text messaging, voice mail, color screen, missed calls -- all these and other features of cell phones can be used with Thuraya satellite phones.
Not Getting Lost. Global Positioning System, or GPS, is a standard and free feature in any Thuraya phone. You can always find out your location and send it to a relative, friend or the emergency service.
Compact Design. Weighing less than 200 grams (7 oz), Thuraya handsets are the smallest satellite phones in the world.
It Does Work Indoors. Thuraya users can use their Hughes and SG-2520 phones (in GSM mode) in buildings, shelters, vehicles, subway trains -- anywhere one of the 200+ roaming partner cellular networks is available.
