Thuraya
Thuraya satellite phone service was launched in 2001 to offer high quality, affordable
satellite communications to areas of high population, where coverage of GSM does
not exist or is limited. The Thuraya coverage area includes North and Central Africa, Middle East,
India, Central Asia and Europe. Thuraya satellite phones use the latest available Satellite phone
technology, and provides the first truly pocket size handheld satellite telephone,
with Thuraya's exceptional voice clarity and low airtime rates, including the use of
low denomination Pre Pay scratch cards and competative tariffs.
THE SYSTEM
The Thuraya satellite phone network is an advanced geo-synchronous mobile satellite system
providing access to Satellite. It offers the facility for high quality voice,
voice mail and SMS, together with an in built
GPS. Thuraya's Data/fax facilities are available through the optional
data kit with speeds obtainable up to 9600bps which means
reliable email or even web browsing.
Thuraya allows you to roam with your Thuraya phone handset across nearly one third of
the globe. If you are in Thuraya's coverage area you can call to, and
receive a call from, anywhere in the world. Even outside the Thuraya
coverage area you may still be able to use your Thuraya phone in GSM
mode, through a Thuraya GSM roaming partner. The handset can be used
as a Thuraya Satellite only, GSM only, or auto switching between the two, subject
to the type of airtime package chosen.
