Thuraya SG-2520 Satellite and GSM Dual Mode Handset

This is the worlds smallest dual mode satellite phone.  It is what 'they' call a tri-band unit (satellite, tri-band GSM, and GPS).  It weighs in at only 170g, and its dimensions are 13.85cm x 5.3cm x 1.9cm.  Now, that is small!

And yes - that IS a colour screen!  This is a robust dual mode (satellite/GSM) handset packed full of features.

We are really excited about this fantastic Dual Mode addition to the Australian Satellite Phone Handset market.  This is, by far, the most exciting, technology packed and useful phone available in the Satellite Communication Industry.

As you can see from the table of features (below) - you will agree that this is one phone that is packed full of features waiting for you to use. 

In the Australian climate, this is fantastic for anyone who:

... or a multitude of other uses. 

We all know the gaps that we experience with our current mobile networks - most of the focus is in the main cities we have, and very little time and money is spent on the network in regional areas - or even fringe areas of metropolitan cities.  You don't have to travel far from a town or city to see those signal pips disappear!

Not only this, but the phone is GSM capable as well!  So, this phone has access to a signal - well, everywhere.  (Remember that normal satellite phone processes apply, and you always need to operate the phone according to the manufacturers guidelines - so read your manual!!!)

Have a look at some of the great features of this phone.
