Thuraya XT Pro

The Thuraya XT-Pro satellite phone has a high-quality, high-contrast display, is splash-proof, shock-proof and also protected against dust. An emergency button allows you to store a phone number and/or text message. The emergency option starts even when the phone is switched off.

Thuraya only works in Europe, Asia, Africa (excluding the south), Australia. For North- and South-America and the south of Africa you need an Iridium or Inmarsat satellite phone.

**) Data trans­mission: On the one hand, Thuraya has a much better data rate than Iridium satellite phones. On the other hand, this is very low for today’s demands even under optimal condi­tions. Sending/receiving emails works, but you should avoid large file attach­ments. Surfing is possible — depending on the site, YouTube definitely not. Under optimal condi­tions, you need over 2 minutes for 1 MB of data.

Rental costs (example calculation)

Fictional rental of an Thuraya XT Pro satellite phone for your Trekking vacations in Montenegro and Albania::

You fly to Podgorica (Montenegro) on 07.09. and return on 21.09. You want to have the phone with you as early as 05.09. so that you can test it at your leisure - which we highly recommend. The satellite phone arrives back at our place on 23.09.

The rental period is therefore 05.09. to 23.09. = 19 days.
Rental price 19 days á 5.00 Euro/day = 95.00 Euro (plus shipping)

Personal use: You call home 5 times for 2 minutes each time. Whether landline or mobile network makes no difference to the price. Furthermore, you send a short text message as an e-mail on each of 4 days. According to the connection prices, this results in:

10 minutes = 11.30 Euro
4 e-mails = 1.76 Euro

Price to reassure your loved ones at home: 108.06 Euro
