One of the first things you should do after purchasing a Thuraya satellite phone is load it up with the best airtime voucher for your needs as soon as possible to avoid delays or disappointment. Whether you are off on an expedition or require a Thuraya phone for a work-related research project, the phone itself will be unusable without Thuraya airtime.
Applying Prepaid Airtime to Your Thuraya Satellite Phone
With a Thuraya prepaid SIM card, your Thuraya satellite phone is loaded up and ready to go as soon as you have applied the prepaid voucher. The easiest and most flexible way to use your Thuraya satellite phone or IP terminal is with a prepaid SIM card and prepaid Thuraya airtime vouchers. No monthly contract is required and prepaid airtime can be used in any of the 140 countries in Thuraya's coverage zone.
