Thuraya's handheld telephones will give you freedom of movement and the ability to stay connected anywhere throughout Europe, North and Central Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent. Giving the opportunities for unlimited roaming, border-to-border service and seamless connectivity.

Thuraya phones combine three powerful technologies: satellite, GSM and GPS. Your phone can switch from satellite to GSM and vice versa. Global Positioning System (GPS) is valuable for personal navigation and safety. Yet it also opens up powerful possibilities for commercial use and fleet management. Satellite phones have long encumbered by size and weight. But Thuraya's phones meet new standards of design and functionality. Thuraya phones are compact for shirt pocket fit and hand grip comfort. They are sleek in design, elegant in proportions, and easy in operation.
