Thuraya Satellite Phone Plans

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.

Prepaid Plans

Thuraya prepaid plans are beneficial when you don’t want the commitment of a long-term contract.
