Important Update Regarding Thuraya's Current Communications

We are aware of the current communication issues being experienced by Thuraya customers. The root cause is a cable cut in the Red Sea, which has disrupted a major communication route between the Middle East and Europe.

Calls between Thuraya numbers remain unaffected. However, calls routed to GSM numbers are impacted, as they rely on the damaged cable.

Thuraya is currently working on a temporary solution. While this may result in reduced call quality compared to the usual standard, it should help maintain service continuity until the cable is fully restored.


The Thuraya Phone provides reliable satellite phone connectivity with unbeatable value. It is designed for cost-conscious users who need to stay securely connected, without compromising on a clear and uninterrupted connection.

The Thuraya is very easy to use. It allows you to make phone calls and send SMS messages in satellite mode, whether you are crossing the desert, sailing at sea, or climbing mountains.

Calls and text messages in satellite mode
Make calls and send SMS messages in satellite mode whenever there is no terrestrial network available. The advanced omnidirectional antenna ensures uninterrupted communications, offering seamless walk-and-talk functionality for calls on the go.

Long-lasting battery life
The XT LITE delivers reliable communications with a long-lasting battery which provides up to six hours of talk time and up to 80 hours of standby time.

Ease of use
Simply charge your phone and ensure that your SIM card is working. It's that simple. You can then program the Thuraya XT LITE Satellite Phone to one of the 13 languages available (Simplified Chinese is available as a separate firmware).

Supported by the most robust and powerful satellite network
Thuraya's satellite network is renowned for having the most reliable satellite coverage, including approximately 160 countries or two-thirds of the globe. The Thuraya XT LITE Satellite Phone enables you to receive a call notification even with the satellite antenna stowed, keeping you connected at all times.

*The XT-LITE / XT-PRO will only work in GSM mode with an international roaming enabled SIM supplied by an official Thuraya roaming partner, or a Thuraya Post-Paid SIM. GSM mode is not available on prepaid Thuraya SIM cards. The phone must be used outside with a clear line of sight to the sky to use the GSM mode. Not all mobile networks allow you to send text messages to satellite phones and as a result text messaging can be unreliable. Please check with your provider or contact us for further information.
