How to turn the iPhone into a satellite phone

Congratulations Thuraya for producing SatSleeve the smartest, most exciting satellite communication product so far released. The SatSleeve, is clearly the result of clever product research and super smart creativity of the Thuraya satellite technology team.

Whilst other manufacturers push out brick satellite telephones that they "think" customers want, Thuraya is actually listening to customers and producing satellite communication products that the customers actually "want"--the iPhone SatSleeve is exactly what consumers asked for!

Thuraya understands that a large portion of the satellite communication market does not want to lug a heavy, unsightly, brick-look-a-like telephone--the SatSleeve is the perfect solution!
The new generation of mobile phone users are used to clear, full colour displays that can be easily read under all conditions--and very smart features. Thuraya has understood that very well and as a result ALL of the latest Thuraya Satellite phones provide unmatched quality in display brightness. Place a Thuraya satellite phone alongside any other satellite phone in a sunny day, or in a moonless night and be amazed by what you see.


SatSleeve -- the solution for those who want everything there is in Satellite Communication but don't want to pay for it :-)

Yes but what do you want a sat phone for?

Hmm

Looks like it is the old 30pin plug so won't be any use for the iphone 5:(

You serious, see how far 3/4g gets you when you are a 1000k from no where, then you pull out the sat phone sleeve and get instant dial tone.

I like the concept but the 'cheapness' factor of the website makes m e a little skeptical of the products they sell. It reads like a dodgy ad written by someone who wants to sell a product rather than convince you this is a quality product.

"Congratulations Thuraya for producing SatSleeve"

"clearly the result of clever product research and super smart creativity"

"fully fledged, powerful and fully featured"

"The iPhone 4s speed, features, perfectly proportioned screen and amazing prize make it one of the most exciting buy at the moment--certainly in my case."

"you enjoy considerable savings in the cost of calls"

"you are proud to use good looking, state of the art technology--that is the reason why you want to get the Thuraya SatSleeve right now! :-)"


Only one problem, I can't get the state of the art technology right now!


"You find the SatSleeve IRRESISTIBLE and want to order one from us :-)"

"View the full range of Thuraya Satellite Phones you know you want one so ... click!"


I'm not quite sold yet...

I do love the concept though! We may need a sat phone once every two or three years, and hire rates are very high.

It's a shame we are on Android OSs though.

In an emergency situation however, is there any advantage to a sat phone over a hf radio?

I agree with reubsrover - the website is quite off putting. But then again I've bought stuff from ebay vendors who use similar language and its been fine.
Just have to wait and see!

So an iPhone 5 has been out for >12months, and were waiting (still) to be notified when it's ready for an iPhone 4.

Don't think I'll hold my breath
