Thuraya is a United Arab Emirates-based regional mobile satellite service provider. The company operates two geosynchronous satellites and provides telecommunications coverage in more than 161 countries.
Satellite phones are popular for expeditions into remote areas where terrestrial cell and data services are unreliable and unavailable.
Also, the phones can be a valuable backup to traditional cell phones because they operate independently of terrestrial communication.
Cell phone networks can be unreliable or non-existent in less populated regions.
Unlike cell phones, satellite phones require line-of-site with the sky to receive a signal for service.
Don’t expect your satellite phone to ring in the lobby of your hotel or inside a stateroom while at sea.
However, you might be able to receive a signal if you are by a large window or in an open, remote spot. Hardened structures, buildings, mountains, and heavy tree cover can all negatively affect your signal.
