Thread: Turn iPhone into a satphone

Getting back to the original post it looks like a neat idea, particularly when they get a data plan. Still as it is model specific you may have to chuck it as well when you get a new phone down the track. Planned obsolescence

From the map Thuraya have really increased their global coverage compared to when I used them in Niger in 2008. Pity coverage over South Africa is not complete, but then they have a pretty good mobile network there.

I have to give a thumbs up for sat phones. No better or worse than a normal mobile, but streets ahead of an Hf radio in summer and poor reception.

Cheers
