Thuraya plans for voice and data services offer flexible pricing packages for varying customer requirements through different postpaid and prepaid subscriptions. Thuraya’s smart satellite technology works with mobile satellite phones, antennas, wireless satellite hotspots, and portable satellite internet terminals to keep you connected when terrestrial networks are not accessible.
Thuraya SIM Card
Once you have a Thuraya satellite device, you need to purchase and activate a Thuraya SIM card for one of the several plans available depending on your usage requirements. You can opt for a postpaid or prepaid plan where prepaid does not have monthly service fees and best suited for short-term or seasonal use and postpaid is convenient for ongoing use.
Compatible Thuraya Devices
Thuraya devices like the Thuraya XT Pro Dual that caters for dual mode, will need both satellite and GSM SIM cards to access the relevant services. Currently Thuraya has about 360 GSM roaming partners worldwide in more than 160 countries.

Postpaid plans can be managed online at services.thuraya.com. Prepaid plans can be recharged as and when you need additional airtime and data credit. You can top up your existing account by using scratch cards or adding credit online. Visit the website www.thurayarecharge.com to register your phone where you use the following methods to top up:
-

Prepaid Plans
Thuraya prepaid plans are beneficial when you don’t want the commitment of a long-term contract. Activating your Thuraya prepaid SIM card enables you to choose a recharge amount so you can get up and running with Thuraya satellite communication services. Choose from the Prepaid SIM with 10 credits or the ECO Plan (also known as the NOVA Plan) that offers reduced rates in selected countries. SIM cards are valid for one year with the option to extend.

Several plans are available to choose from according to your communication needs.
