The Thuraya network is unique: it's a satellite network, but it supports GSM mode as well. With a Thuraya phone you can use existing GSM coverage. You plug in your own SIM card so you are reachable with your own phone number, paying normal roaming costs. As soon as coverage from existing mobile networks ends, the phone automaticly switches to the Thuraya satellite network. The Thuraya phones we rent out have an integrated GPS receiver. Thuraya coverage You can use the Thuraya satellite coverage almost everywhere in Europe, Africa and most parts of Asia. You are free to choose between the GSM900 or Thuraya network. For satellite coverage you need the satellites in view, meaning you can't use Thuraya satellite mode indoors. Within the covered area Thuraya also works at sea, in the mountains, desert or jungle. Thuraya is the best choice within it's coverage area due to the low cost, high reliability and ease of use.
