THURAYA Satellite iPhone

[FerRGarza]

After looking at different Sat phones, stumbled upon this one. Its a sleeve that hooks up your iPhone to convert it to a Sat phone. The brand is THURAYA. To me it looks very nice. Anyone familiar with THURAYA and their products/services? Thuraya SatSleeve | Thuraya

Very cool. It doesn't look much bigger than an otter box. I am interested in how well it works.

Thuraya

I have never used the IPhone / Thuraya combo, but I have used the standard Thuraya in Afghanistan over the past ten years. I have not had any issues with a Thuraya other than some batteries tend to not last as long as others. I always have charged spares on hand.
