Recall Thuraya satellite phones? I remember seeing their TV ads many years ago but I thought they were abandoned already but today I read on the news that Ministry of Communication has set up a new tariff for Thurarya phones (500 fils/min). I remember Thuraya was first introduced back in 1997 and used satellites to provide phone service in remote areas such as deserts, mid of the sea or high up in the mountains which are not covered by normal telecommunication networks.
I find them useful for those who do long trips, but I wish if the per minute rate was even lower.
Does anybody know the per minute rate for normal phones?
Depends which carrier and what phone line u’re using.
